Divine Office - chanting pointed psalms

[dgd]

Hello everyone

I have recently started trying to pray the Divine Office. I would like to chant the psalms.

I am very confused as there seem to be so many different tones and systems.

I’m thinking ideally I would like to chant them as pointed in my 3 vol UK Divine Office. I’m struggling to know where to begin.

I’d be grateful for any help!
