I'm using Divine Worship Daily Office Commonwealth Edition and in my general instructions I found that the Roman Martyrology is traditionally read at Prime. To what year is your Roman Martyrology dated to? I found some only until 1961 if I remember correctly. Thank you Christ is risen! Alleluia
While its use in the breivary is very common, the correct name for the metre of the hymn “jam lucis” at prime is not in “common metre” it is in fact in “long metre.” Ling metre is notated as 88-88 common metre is 86-86 which appears frequently in hymnals and popular songs and poems but never in the breviary
