Two questions (my source from p. 56 of the GT and my output are attached).

1) does the second neume at the "e" of "ejus" exist in the gregall font to date? (I feel like I'm missing something…) The first neume is a pes, but the second looks like a clivis and shape-wise it's a diminutive liquescent, something like the climacus with the nabc ci~

so the neume with what I can manage so far is something like pecl``ci~lssta2lst2

but a) the spacing isn't right and I need to use ` to adjust it and b) the second significative letter is glued to the climacus (which seems less than ideal given its placement in the Triplex).

to me, shapewise, this note seems to be closer to the reverse of to!cl>

2) is it possible to have an isolated nabc significative letter? For example, at the end of the psalm verse, before the bar line, there is one not attached to a square notation (attached to the bar line would do, but I'm running into obstacles in the Neumz renderer and hesitate to try it out with my own LaTeX compilation). Screenshot 2026-01-26 at 19.39.39.pngScreenshot 2026-01-26 at 20.10.57.png

The glyph itself corresponds to pf>, although gregall is based on an example that is especially angular at the bottom (cf. the augmentative liquescent porrectus flexus in Cardine's neume table).  The positioning of the letters seems to be impossible to replicate.  pepf>lssta2lst3 is the best I can do, which pushes the t over even further right, but otherwise the st looks like it affects the wrong element.

I wondered about that. I would switch to gresgmodern which has a better pf> for me but not the significative letter that I need. Thanks!
