And does the Hymnary.org Pro subscription offer printable copies? Our congregation reads the Psalm responsively, but the elders need larger print, and the editing from the standard NRSVUE takes me quite a bit of time each week.

NRSV and Psalms
The Hymnary Pro subscription gives access to the FlexScores we have made of public domain hymns. They are printable. In most cases, however, the FlexScore will just be of the musical part of the psalm. The exception is psalms from the United Methodist Hymnal which also includes the psalm text, but most of these are copyrighted. It is possible to make the text of the part within the score larger, but this does not make the text of the spoken parts larger. If we have page scans of the psalm the page scan can be printed and enlarged, but if the psalm is from the NRSV (which is copyrighted) we most likely would not have these page scans displayed. The scripture passages come from the hymnal, so the version of the scripture would be from whatever the hymnal uses.
