# Typesetting Gregorian Chant with Emacs
Spencer King

[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/gregorian-schedule)" raw="yes"]]

There are a variety of methods for typesetting gregorian
chant scores and outputting high-quality sheet music. One of these is
a tool called Gregorio, which integrates with LaTeX allowing scores to
be cleanly inserted into other documents. All Gregorio files are plain
text, allowing them to easily be shared with other users and managed
with a version control system. In this talk, I will give a brief
overview of the Gregorio tool and then show how it can be used in
Emacs by typesetting a simple score. All code and examples will be
made available to help new users get started with typesetting their
own scores.
