 I have heard of gregorio (http://gregorio-project.github.io/)
but never got to use it. I guess that by specializing on just gregorian 
chant it can produce nice looking scores. Lilypond gregorian support is 
less than perfect, the notes get to widely spaced (I have somewhat 
similar experience with white mensural notes in lilypond).

Is there any experiences you would like to share about gregorio ?

If you are using tex/latex/..., then you usually use lilypond-book
for that, see:

 http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/lilypond_002dbook

For OpenOffice and LibreOffice:

 http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/

else you can use some wariant of:

I also had some issues with lilypond-book:

. all thoose lily-<number> files made no sense for me and they made
  it more or less impossible to work with make
. it did not work reliably with make, maybe that's fixed by now

///

I currently uses a mix of the third method above and lilypond-book for
including scores into latex docs. I have

 \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"

at top of file, and run it as

 lilypond --ps -dbackend=eps <file>
 lilypond-psfonts <file>.psfonts <file>.eps

(where lilypond-psfonts is an extract from an old version of
lilypond-book) and then I use

 \input{II-systems.tex}

in the latex file, and finish off with

 latex <tex_file>
 dvips -h <psfonts_file> <dvi_file>

There migth be some better way to do it today though, I havn't
investigated that. For an example, see:
