Reverse Flannery 2♥
Reverse Flannery 1♦ - 2♥ shows constructive 4–5♥, 5=♠. This convention helps the 1♦ opening more than 1♣.

| P, 2♠ | S/O |

BTU Lyric + Lebensohl becomes even more useful after the 1♦ opening. When opener wants to play 3m, they can have either long diamonds or a two suiter in minor suits. Responder assumes a 5-5 two suiter first, and then opener can pass or correct.
