Getting Gregorio to work on Windows 7

Question

I need help trying to get Gregorio working on Windows 7 x64. I've installed TeX Live 2012 and Gregorio, and have configured TeXworks. When I try to compile a tex file, it tells me that it can't find gregoriotex.sty, and I also get errors saying it can't find gregoriotex.cls.

! LaTeX Error: File `gregoriotex.sty' not found.

The last few lines of texworx's console output were:

(c:/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/lualatex/luacode/luacode.sty))
(c:/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/geometry/geometry.sty
(c:/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/ifvtex.sty))

I got this error following the directions here on the Gregorio site I have followed.

It seems like there is another setting somewhere in TeX Live, but I can't find it.

Here are some commandline directions, whereupon I get the same error.

How can I get this to work?

Welcome to TeX.SE! Please post a complete MWE (minimum working example) that shows what you've done so far and generates the errors and/or warnings you're trying to fix. — Mico, Mar 19 '13 at 16:54
For a moment there, I thought the OP was talking about egreg... — jub0bs, Mar 19 '13 at 17:22
@BGM It's a "site joke"; I'm in no way connected to the Gregorio project. — egreg, Mar 19 '13 at 23:03
@egreg Oh! Okay, no worries. I only said that because jubobs spoke about me in the third person as if I weren't there. However, it is pretty funny now that I know egreg is you! — bgmCoder, Mar 20 '13 at 00:32
@Jubobs Nope. The OP wasn't talking at all; at least, not in this forum. — , Mar 20 '13 at 00:50

Well, I learned the solution to the missing sty file error by reviewing this thread. Now, I installed Gregorio at c:\texlive\gregorio.

I don't know why the Gregorio installer can't handle it, but I copied the folder at c:\texlive\gregorio\tex from its application folder to C:\texlive\texmf\tex\latex - and I tried it also at C:\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex - either of those seem to work to fix the problem of the missing sty file.

Then, make sure that your have the fonts installed correctly - see here; this is very important.

Also, if you are trying to use NotatioAntiqua with Gregorio (it is a GUI that eliminates the user's having to interact with the commandline), there is a trick there, too. So, assuming that you have installed notatioantiqua to c:\texlive\notatioantiqua\

Copy the file gregorian.cls from C:\texlive\notatioantiqua\share\contrib\class\ to C:\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex\gregorio\

And then, in the commandline, run texhash

Besides all that, in the .gabc files where the score is described, comment (or don´t use) the line related to text alignment with the notes: %centering-scheme: latin;

[UPDATE]

Gregorio has been updated to version 2.3 as of June 2013, and just about all of these installation issues have been corrected. Here is a link to the download repository: http://download.gna.org/gregorio/releases/

Looking into the install.py in the tar.gz file I would call it a bug, that they hardcoded the path to the local-texmf as /usr/local/texlive/2010basic/texmf-local. Without knowing the installation routine for the gregorio-setup.exe I assume, it is hardcoded there, too. Submit a bug report to them with pointers to your related TeX.SX questions. One should upon installation get the opportunity to input the local-texmf path. — Speravir, Mar 22 '13 at 01:26
