It has been such a joy to use Logos, and I am most thankful to all who have had a part in its development. It is truly a wonderful tool. However, I have noticed that a few discrepancies still exist in the ACNA Sunday and Red-Letter Day Lectionary.
The First Sunday of Christmas, 2021 you have Psalm 147:13. It should be Psalm 147:12-20.
The Second Sunday of Christmas you have Luke 2:41–52 or Matthew 2:1–12. Matthew is correct, but the Luke reading should be Luke 2:41-52.
For The Epiphany you have the shorter Psalm as Psalm 72:1–15. It should be 72:1-11.
The lessons you show for Feb 20th are an option. The day can also be observed as the Seventh Sunday of Epiphany. The Mission Sunday lessons you show (recommended but optional on the second to last Sunday) can be used on any Sunday in the season except for the first and the last. The lessons for the Seventh Sunday are: Gen 45:3-11, 21-28, Ps 37:(1-7)8-17, 1 Cor 15:35-49, Lk 6:27-38.
For Ash Wednesday you left out the 2nd option for the Old Testament reading. After the reading from Joel you should add “or Isa 58:1-12.” Also, for the Gospel reading from Matthew you have verses 19-21 in parentheses, indicating that they are optional. You should have, “Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21,” as they are not optional.
For the Second Sunday in Lent you have Genesis 15:1–12, 17–18. Verses 13-16 should not be omitted. It should read “Genesis 15:1–18.” You show the shorter Psalm option as only verse 10. It should be 27:7-14. The BCP says 27:9-17, but the versification is different in the BCP.
For the Third Sunday in Lent you show the the Gospel lesson as Luke 13:1–9. It should be “Luke 13:1–9 (10-17).
For The Annunciation you show the optional response to the OT lesson as Psalm 40:1–11 or Luke 1:46–55 (Canticle 3 or 15). The Psalm should be 10:1-10 (BCP 40:1-13). The canticle number you used are from The Episcopal Church BCP. This canticle is not numbered in the ACNA BCP, and should be shown as “The Magnificat.”
When optional verses come first in a specified reading, you tend to note by putting the opening parentheses before the book, like this: (Luke 13:22–30) 31–35. In this example, only verses 22-30 are optional, so it should be shown as Luke 13:(22–30) 31–35.
I have not yet looked beyond March, so there may be additional corrections needed. Accurate lectionary specifics can be found here: https://bcp2019.anglicanchurch.net/index.php/downloads/ near the bottom of the page, behind the link Sunday, Holy Day, and Commemoration Lectionary.
I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi Warren. The time stamp on this says "Over two years ago" but I got an email today concerning this thread.
Did you make an update to the original request? Or was there an unusual glitch in the system that made in error in notifying me?
I was under the assumption that this version of the lectionary was replaced by the St. Andrews revision which we released earlier this year. (And thank you for your help in making that happen!)0 -
@Kyle G. Anderson This comment was on the Sunday/Red Letter Day lectionary. When I looked at the readings for last Sunday I noticed the problem with the psalm selection. If I understand correctly, the St. Andrew's Day revision was just to the daily lectionary. Was there also a revision to the Sunday lectionary that I don't have?0

@Warren Musselman Thanks for the clarification! This is jogging my memory a bit. I think I recall hearing of a major revision to the Sunday lectionary as well.
I'll look into it. It's possible we may need to do what we did with the daily lectionary and create a replacement lectionary.0
