    My collection is complete and available on Lulu.com for PDF download at nominal cost, and also in book form. I attach a sample that covers the Advent/Christmas/Epiphany season. I welcome feedback, suggestions, and questions.

    Would you be willing to sometime in the future do the "Bugnini shuffle" and make this for the Ordinary Form?

    No, doubly so since those are in English. The person is asking for those to be cross-referenced or rearranged for the NO gradual’s assignments.

    There will be gaps but not so many as to make it a silly request.

    My piece of feedback would be that anything for Sundays and solemnities has a lot of gaps because of the deficiencies of the 1962.

    "...the deficiencies of the 1962."

    Some of us don't consider them such.

    Well how many days in your lifetime have you celebrated the Apostles & Evangelists on a Sunday? The answer is however many times Saints Peter and Paul falls on a Sunday. That’s it; this never happened before the reforms of the twentieth century; Some feasts are transferred to Monday every now and again, due to the seasons and now the feast of Christ the King, but the rest take the place of the Sunday as was the case two weeks ago, as was the case last year for St Matthew & St Bartholomew, as will be the case for Saint Mark in April, and Saint James in July.

    Put it another way: fine, you consider the 1962 to be acceptable. But because you have made this choice, any church named for most of the Apostles & Evangelists cannot celebrate their titular feast with your book. The communion verses book in Latin & English has the same problem…

    It’s also not clear what you mean by solemnity as the term isn’t used in the 1962 (it was for the second feast of St Joseph abolished in 1955). The Purification is reclassified as a feast of the Lord but remains II class. Exaltation of the Holy Cross is also II class.

    Anyway the rite of Milan doesn’t even observe the abolition of the Comites’ feasts after Christmas when they fall on Sunday in the Novus Ordo, so that anyone holding that these reforms are not deficient has an uphill battle.
