I doubt that. I would think that this very common rubric, possibly
substituted for "cant" because of the similarly of function in the office
between psalms and canticles (and maybe by oversight). It might also
indicate the chant mode.

Along the same lines as psalms to Mary, I have recently been
coming across, in the 13th-century Ordinary of Chartres Cathedral,
the phrase "ps. Magnificat". Not being at all schooled in liturgical
matters, this has puzzled me somewhat. Is the answer similar to
the very useful posting that Erik Drigsdahl just sent on psalms to
the Virgin? Thanks in advance for any information on this.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
