Description
Qualify an explicit manuscript lection-opening locator.
Religious-source records depend on the work, edition, translation, calendar tradition and locator system. Verse numbers and hymn-meter counts are supplied annotations; a shared label need not imply identical text or observance. Evening starts, transfer rules and public admission windows require their stated source rather than an assumed universal calendar or authority.
Qualify an explicit manuscript lection-opening locator.
When to use this tool
Use Manuscript Lection Opening Reference when you already have manuscriptId, lectionId, suppliedOpeningReference and need to qualify an explicit manuscript lection-opening locator.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter manuscriptId, lectionId, suppliedOpeningReference. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter manuscriptId, lectionId, suppliedOpeningReference using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

| suppliedOpeningReference | Supplied Opening Reference | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

{
"input": {
"manuscriptId": "MS17",
"lectionId": "L2",
"suppliedOpeningReference": "folio 3r"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"MS17\",\"L2\",\"folio 3r\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without identifying or interpreting the text. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the specific work, edition, calendar authority or rights record for a verified citation or observance. Use the source text and its prosodic convention for actual syllable analysis; supplied counts and locators can organize that review.
