Dear All,

Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia. This is the first time I post to the list. I would like to typeset the chants here (as presented in The Hymnal 1982 of ECUSA):

I've succeeded in removing the staff lines, adding the \divisioMinima etc., but I couldn't find a way to typeset the long block for the repeated note. Could someone help me? Thank you kindly.

grob-interpret-markup is my personal golden hammer :P

\include "gregorian.ly"

blockNote = {

  \once \override NoteHead #'stencil = 

    #(lambda (grob)

       (grob-interpret-markup grob

          (markup #:filled-box '(0 . 10) '(-0.5 . 0.5) 0)))

}

\new Staff \with {

  \remove "Clef_engraver"

  \remove "Time_signature_engraver"

  \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #2

} \relative c' {

  \set Staff.keySignature = #`(((0 . 7) . ,FLAT))

  \override Stem #'stencil = ##f

  g'4 a b

  \divisioMinima

  \blockNote

  b1

}

\addlyrics {

  Lo -- rem ip -- sum.

} 

Regards,

Nathan
