    These are for Tenebrae, in the ancient rite, on American letter paper. It's sort of the ideal paper document for me, which I had hitherto not had before me or found elsewhere. (The more the merrier, I think.)

    For Thursday, I have also taken out for someone else the chant responsories of the II and III nocturns so that the Victoria settings could be sung. One could (and I can do it for you) do the same for the Miserere for example.

    Please let me know if I've mucked something up made a mistake. Even with multiple eyes on it, I still can't catch 'em all apparently.

    These are beautifully done. On p.41 of Maundy Thursday, you have the first verse of the Benedictus notated twice. Haven’t checked the others

    Not sure why English is sometimes right column.

    Because that’s how it works, and the LaTeX package for typesetting parallel columns allows for this.

    People don’t do it that way, probably because they use an inflexible word processor (and its mindset), but the hand missals always flip columns because the optical illusion keeps your eye in the same column without breaking it: you go from one interior column to the next or exterior to exterior and then back.

    It might get weird at Vespers when the psalms are so short and interrupted by the repeated antiphon, or when I only have one psalm here and there across a book-length document, but on Friday at Tenebrae, when we have ps 113 (so, weekly, just about),
