In months with 31 days, the psalms from Day 30 are repeated.
In only two instances (117 and 150) are two tunes provided; in both cases,
the first choice includes the word “Hallelujah,” which some may wish to omit in Lent.
Other psalms are divided into multiple parts.

In my practice of one office a day, I sing the evening psalms in even-numbered months and the morning psalms in odd-numbered months. In months with 31 days, I sing the morning psalms for the 30th day on the 30th and the evening psalms on the 31st. I also sing the psalms for Day 30 Evening on the last day of February. This way, I am almost always in sync with others following Cranmer’s 30-day scheme.
