The most important thing about cantoring in the Catholic Church is to encourage the congregation to respond. They need encouragement. You are correct about the responsorial Psalm movement is indicated quite often by quarter or eighth notes. It depends on whose compositions you are doing how it is notated. I'm new to the group(hi, all) I cantored for several years sat a huge church in Baltimore. The congregation was mosatly elderly and still stuck in pre-Vatican II mode where there was no singing at Mass except by the choir. Things have improved. Glad I found you, all!
