"tweaking" is probably the understatement of the century. but that's a ten page long discussion that would derail this thread lol. suffice it to say, Holy Week rubrics were not just tweaked, they were fundamentally altered. You might be able to find pre-'55 Holy Week videos around the internet perhaps, I think the SSPV does them... nowhere are they done licitly, of course, but it's fascinating to see how things used to be done, anyway. I should probably preserve your innocence by not telling you who was involved in the 1955 Holy Week reform.

the liturgical calendar was the main thing that was altered in the pre-'62 years, though, and only a little bit of tweaking of the actual ordinary. of course that had the effect of making the Last Gospel never change because the calendar had been simplified so much there was never any need for a different Last Gospel than the beginning of St. John, and they removed the second confiteor (though that's quite a pesky thing, it still can't be gotten rid of after all this time in many places lol)

The standard term obviously is "reformed", but I am not really sure that is entirely accurate.
Perhaps "renovated"?

I've got nothing against F but I prefer G.

Wow - see? Shows what I know - I thought it went straight from 1945 to 1962. Didn't know there were any alterations in between...

Very interesting...
