Bragers Proprium Sanctorum?

    I see that Bragers produced an edition of chant accompaniments for the Sundays of the year. Is there a corresponding set of accompaniments for the sanctoral cycle?

    If not, does anyone know of anything written in a similar style? That is, Solesmes rhythmic markings throughout and a three voice, self contained and largely 'hands off' accompaniment?

    I'm aware of NOH but the absence of the Solesmes rhythmic markings is a non-starter. I certainly don't have time to put them in myself.

    I don’t know how hands off you’d consider it, but Potiron wrote accompaniment in the Solesmes style of his day (Dom Desrocquettes worked with him at one point) for the major feasts (including most that take the place of Sundays, though a page is missing at Candlemas, and I had to substitute the antiphon Exsurge from the Rogation accompaniment of Bragers for Potiron).

    I’m not aware of anyone who wrote something for the whole sanctorale though.
