I was going to order end-grooved raw tongue and groove (21-22mm) and according to the seller, the recommendation is probably not to splice end-grooved raw tongue and groove between the rafters when you're having felt roofing!!
I've searched but can't find anything about this.
Is this correct? Anyone with experience splicing end-grooved raw tongue and groove between the rafters?
It is fine to freely splice the tongue and groove ends but spread them out as best as you can, think of it like laying a floor and account for some waste to make it work well.
In my experience, my opinion is that the guidelines are a bit too lenient and it should state every third plank instead of every other.
What kind of roof and building is it?
But if you just have the joints staggered between the rafters so they don't end up next to each other, I don't see any practical problems. The joint gets locked by the adjacent boards, which then shouldn't have any joint between the rafters at the same place, my thoughts from a practical perspective and how I would have done it.
If there is then any rule/recommendation for those who perform work professionally, I'm not aware of it.

Pent roof, broken. Slope of 12 degrees. A holiday house of 80m2.
Yes, the idea was to stagger the joints between the roof beams and just go for it. According to Rickard and "TÄTSKIKTSGARANTIER™", it should work.
It works well with end joints as long as you don't join each row one after another in the same compartment; instead, every third or fourth board in the same compartment will make it strong.
It works well with end-jointed boards as long as you don't join every line consecutively in the same bay. Try every third or fourth board in the same bay to make it strong.
Okay, it will probably end up being end-jointed anyway, and aim for the joints to land at most every fourth one.
Okay, it will have to be tongue and groove after all and aim to have the joints land on every fourth.
Thank you all for the great answers🙏👍
Yes, with tongue and groove you get the least waste and with that, it can be economically beneficial compared to having staggered joints on the rafters, but the most durable is a joint on a rafter.
