Your order for the Holy 50 is mistaken, at least regarding what I have been taught. There are 8 introductions to the Verses of the Cymbals:

-Adam Annual

-Vatos Annual

-The above two in the festive tune (minor feasts of the Lord outside of Lent and the 50)

-Mournful (Neknai o Panouti)

-Holy 50 (A Pi-Ekhristos Pennouti)

--Under this category fall those of the Ascension and Pentecost feasts

-Major festive days (Ten-oo-osht in the long tune)

-Bright Saturday (Ten-oo-osht in the short tune)

You cannot say more than one of these. Therefore, you skip the normal introduction (Annual Adam or Vatos) and go straight into A Pi-Ekhristos.

I'm also not sure why St. Longinus is included in the 50 Rites. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Longinus is the soldier who pierced the side of Christ and then confessed. I do not believe he has a verse, much less in that position.

Regarding the annual tune, I admire your commemoration of all 4 Archangels and so many martyrs and fathers!
