Re: [Denemo-devel] Gregorian Chant in Denemo

[Richard Shann]

Here is another tweak - instead of C for the clef graphic I've put the
emmentaler glyph for the clef (the field gy determines the height it is
drawn at in the display). Also I've used
Staffs/Voices->Properties->Built-in Properties to reduce the staff lines
in the display to four.
