BUG: likely by design being incomplete

MJ. Smith

Today's lectionary entry:

Unfortunately, this is the morning service at the Cathedral. The entry for most people is "Mass of the Lord's Supper". When there are multiple services for a day (as opposed to a choice of services), the arrow head should take me to the next service not the next day. This is particularly evident on Easter and Christmas which have difference services for different times of day.

It would be best if the wording "on the same date" was also modified to reflect that it is an additional service rather than a choice. Note the ability to handle multiple services for a day was in Libronix 3 so it's not a new feature - merely an oversight in design.

When there are multiple services for a day (as opposed to a choice of services), the arrow head should take me to the next service not the next day.

I agree that having the arrow jump between liturgies would be better. I don't know that I want to make the functionality dependent on the distinction between options and liturgies that occur on the same day, however.

We do still distinguish things like the multiple Christmas liturgies in the lectionary resource (though more subtly now than in the Libronix Lectionary Viewer), but there are a number of reasons that multiple sets of readings can occur on the same secular date: options, regional variations, multiple liturgies for an occasion, vigils, etc., so "on the same date" is meant to be generic. Maybe in the future we can think about classifying all these types of coincidence and varying what is displayed ("Or", "Also", "In some regions", "Vigil", etc.).
