typos/possible revisions (mostly in the introduction) about nocturnale-romanum HOT 8 CLOSED

is "according to either the 1960 or DA rubrics" correct, or should it be "according to either the 1960 or the DA rubrics" (or "according to either the 1960 rubrics or the DA rubrics" which sounds... cumbersome)

Lowercase psalm tones: I have never understood the logic behind the use of upper vs lowercase in the Liber usualis. Recent books use only lowercase, I have followed them without asking myself questions.

Syllabification: fixing all the syllabification errors is going to be a long process, I might want to automate it.

Capitals are used for the final (hence 8G but 8c, based of course on a correspondance of letter names to solfège names). As I said, I'm able to adapt, but it will look different, so it's worth a note.

Definitely no need to repeat rubrics. I don't think that you need to repeat the article.

No worries with the process of revision of syllabification.

Do you mean that capitals are used when the final of the psalm tone is the same as the final of the mode? It looks like it it indeed the case. I must say I don't find it useful at all.

from nocturnale-romanum.

Yes.

It's helpful for transpositions in particular — mode IV finishes on La/A quite often — but it's not absolutely essential to capitalize the letters corresponding to the final; it just looks different from the way it's done in the classical books (to which are what a lot of people would be accustomed)

Noted. I think there are a whole abundance of such details that will puzzle "ordinary trads", like the absence of ictus while other rhythmic signs are present, neographies for liquescences and the oriscus-based neumes, the fact that the book just assumes you know what you should include or omit (e.g. gives two different feasts on may 1st with very little rubrics to explain why), or even the concept of a book that does not cover all parts of a few hours (like the LU does), but a few parts of many hours.
Going into all this in the foreword would risk bringing me over KDP's 550 page limit, from which I am already very dangerously close...

I will close this for the time being, the English mistakes and typography being fixed in Nocturnale-Romanum/psalterium-festivum@8d98c2f

Please do open a sepatate issues for hyphenation errors if you find the courage to list them, or some of them. I will try to automate their detection some time in the summer, but now is not the time.
