One of the differences with the way I do psalms is that I make more of the pointing characters into mnemonic "active" characters: % * for a breath. % | for a barline. % ¬ for a double barline. % _ for a dot. % † for a (posh) dagger. % ¶ for a paragraph mark (looks after the spacing for \P). (Using ¬ (not) for a double barline is because they're printed where's there's not a break at the half-verse.) Obviously I have shortcuts like AltGr-P for these characters. (¬ is on GB keybords.) Attached is source with its PDF to give you the idea. The transposition of the second chant is automatically done by a python preprocessor that spots the @ in the source. (Sorry I don't have permission to publish that chant.) (I'm happy to answer questions w/r to it's use.) Cheers, David.
