Hi Ben;

The first one I ran across is getting alignment correct for a flexa on a 
single syllable.

\version "2.16.0"
\score {
  <<
    \new VaticanaStaff
    \new VaticanaVoice = "Hymn40" {

     e' e' \[\melisma d'\flexa c'\melismaEnd \] d' e' f' d' d' 
\divisioMinima
     d' d' f' e' c' d' f' \augmentum e' \divisioMaior

     }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Hymn40" {

      O Christ who art the Light and Day, thou driv -- est dark -- some 
night a -- way!
    }
  >>
}

I have tried going through the documentation and playing with playing 
with settings a bit, but I cannot seem to get it right. The "who" wants 
to align on the second note of the flexa which pushes the "art" to the 
'e' ater the lexa rather than it being on the 'd' directly after it.

I will look at the snippets a bit more closely. I do like the definition 
of the divisio maior as a short line in the mddle rather than the 
deafault in gregorian.ly as a full bar line not as heavy as the maxima.

regards
Keith
