Would anyone, with a reasonable knowledge of the Divine Office, please read the attached PDF. I am looking for constructive feedback on the accuracy of its content. I am not looking for feedback relating to any other aspect of it.
 
At my quick glance, it looks pretty accurate.

The only thing that strikes me as odd is the listing for EP on solemnities and feasts. I don’t think the whole thing is proper. Most of the time, it’s either from the psalter, or Sun. Week I. I may be wrong though. I’d have to check.

But overall, it looks pretty good to me.

Nope; that’s actually correct. Everything is Proper for Evening Prayer on Solemnities and Feasts, although if the Solemnity or Feast is that of a Saint (i.e. not of the Lord), then the Proper may direct you to the Psalms from the appropriate Common.

Ahh, yes. You’re correct. I remember now.
 
You might want to add the special directions for reciting memorials in certain seasons/part of seasons e.g. Lent.
 
If you folks don’t mind taking a temporary detour.

Where is all the info written down about this? There are currently two threads, this one and the other about the Baptism of the Lord. I’d like to understand all the rubrics.

Thanks

It’s to be found, mainly, in the General Instruction on the Liturgy of the Hours (GILH), which you can find online here*. There are also rubrics within the text of the Divine Office (or Liturgy of the Hours), which can also be called the Canonical Hours or Opus Dei (Work of God).
 
Thank you to every one for their comments. They’re much appreciated.
