1. The actual 1568/1570 kalendar (but using Gregorian dates)
2. The actual 1910 kalendar
3. The CTO
4. Divino Afflatu (1911-1913)
5. Pacelli (1956, aka Bugnini 1.0)
6. 1962 (aka Bugnini 2.0)
Each day shows the number of unique psalms prayed; fragments of psalms (e.g. Ps. 30: 1-6 at Compline) do not count for this exercise. When a particular psalm is repeated, it is only marked once, usually on Sunday, and therefore, not tallied again on the subsequent days it's used (e.g. Pss. 94, 118). Canticles are also excluded from this consideration.

Total Unique Psalms: 114 64 92 129 135 148
% of Psalter: 75.3% 42.0% 60.7% 86.0% 90.0% 98.7%
For the statistical minded:
Mean - 113.67 psalms
Standard Deviation - 28.3 psalms
The CTO is within one standard deviation of the mean, but so are1913 and Pacelli. 1570 is the mean.
Clearly 1910 and 1962 are the outliers, but the the modern "reformers" certainly must have valued praying all 150 psalms weekly as the highest good, no?
