I've been music director at Blessed John XXIII for 12 years and have worked these out as I have gone along. Thank you for your interest Paul. I very much appreciate your contributions and publications. - Kevin
If anyone is interested, I have composed nearly complete settings of the two cycles of Psalms for weekday masses. The responses are in many different styles but probably most similar to the Proulx psalms responses. The verses are set to a variety of Gregorian, Mundelien and new tones as well.

This is really wonderful, especially for those of us in joint parish/school jobs...and a lack of time to do our own settings!
I should mention, too, how much I enjoy seeing the different notation/pointing customs of everyone. I have learned a number of systems, but always am intrigued to see the tools we use to (hopefully!) sing the same language!
Ben - that's beautiful - I think the 2 settings styles are different enough that they nicely compliment each other, yet no one would confuse the 2 - by all means - I'd be honored to share this string with you - Kevin
A little late now, but I composed a set of antiphons for the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude. Here is the Entrance and Communion. Sorry, no psalm verses, because usually the entrance and communion rites don't take that long.
