Also I couldn't notice any changes when I ticked the Pius XII psalm box or the antique hymns box.

I have one final question (i think). What is the difference between?

Hodie
Dedicatio
Defunctorum
Parvum B.V.M

Hodie is the Office of the day. That's what you want to use every day.

Dedicatio is the Office for the dedication of a church. That's a very special occasion, which you might never use in your life.

Defunctorum is the Office of the Dead. You may want to offer that for a friend, benefactor or loved one on the day of their death or burial, or as a votive offering for their soul.

Parvum BVM is the Office of our Lady, which can be prayed devotionally, like a Votive Mass. But Her Feasts are proper in the Hodie, and there are many, so I stick with the Feast of the day.

Thank you for the clarification. The help section didn't mention what they were. Also when reading the martins I notice the gospel is not displayed in full. Are we supposed to manually read the gospel that is missing? Here it says "And so on".

Yes, the Gospel in the Third Nocturn is always simply introduced. I have no idea if the rubrics require it be read in full, or simply alluded to prior to the readings. If it is a proper Feast with a Gospel that is not recited often, or a Sunday Gospel, I always read the whole thing. You will notice that the Third Nocturn can become a bit repetitious with regard to the Common of Confessors. Oft times one or a few of the same Gospel passages repeat over and over with the same readings. I generally skip reading the whole Gospel passage those days because I'm so familiar with them. Salt of the earth, etc. Likewise the ten wise virgins, etc. 

Oh boy, now I am learning from your researches!!! I went and found what you've highlighted in options. Apparently you can choose the "Pius XII Psalter." I've never done that before.

Just tried it. OUCH!!!!!!!!!

I think that might be the "Cardinal" Bea quagmire!! OUCH!!!!!!!

It is NOT the Vulgate!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

Reading that Latinized fakery is akin to drilling holes in your head. AVOID!

Thanks though when I checked the box I noticed no change, same for antique hymns.

In the Roman rite the Gospel fragment only is read, or chanted, by the third most senior cleric present.  All stand for the fragment then sit for the rest of the 7th lesson, the homily part.  

In the Monastic rite the Gospel fragement is read as in the secular rite but then, later, the entire Gospel is read after the Te Deum and before Te decet laus.
