<p><a name="index-VaticanaVoiceContext-2305"></a><a name="index-VaticanaStaffContext-2306"></a>
The predefined <code>VaticanaVoiceContext</code> and
<code>VaticanaStaffContext</code> can be used to engrave a piece of
Gregorian chant in the style of the Editio Vaticana. These contexts
initialize all relevant context properties and grob properties to
proper values, so you can immediately go ahead entering the chant, as
the following excerpt demonstrates
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\include "gregorian-init.ly"
\score {
<<
\new VaticanaVoice = "cantus" {
\[ c'\melisma c' \flexa a \]
\[ a \flexa \deminutum g\melismaEnd \]
f \divisioMinima
\[ f\melisma \pes a c' c' \pes d'\melismaEnd \]
c' \divisioMinima \break
\[ c'\melisma c' \flexa a \]
\[ a \flexa \deminutum g\melismaEnd \] f \divisioMinima
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "cantus" {
San- ctus, San- ctus, San- ctus
}
>>
}
