    CGM,

    Thank you for your help. As you can see, I did take parts of your solution. I wanted the open sound at the beginning of bar 31, so I recalibrated to make that still possible.

    Jackson,

    Is your comment addressed to CGM or to me?

    To CGM, for his solution to the problem measure you asked about.
    As far as your work is concerned - I love it

    Nice, although there are parallel 5ths (okay 12ths) between T & B in measure 30 now.

    Charles,

    I've found a few spots I still need to adjust. Thank you for catching those.

    Bar 30 (in revised score): You've fixed one problem, but added another: You now have parallel fifths between the tenor and bass from beat two to beat three.

    Here the "potential fix" revised to end with the open fifth.

    Another go at it.

    By the way: what is the "rule" (such as it exists) for syllabification in Latin? Should it be "sanc-tam" or "sanct-am"..... and on what principle are such decisions made?

    Wheelock's Latin, 7th Ed.
    In Latin as in English, a word has as many syllables as it has vowels or diphthongs.
    Dividing a word into syllables is called syllabification.
    Two contiguous vowels or a vowel and a diphthong are separated:
    dea, de-a, dea; deae, de-ae, deae.
    A single consonant between two vowels goes with the second vowel:
    amīcus, a-mī-cus, amīcus.
    When two or more consonants stand between two vowels, generally only the last consonant goes with the second vowel:
    mittō, mit-tō, mittō; servāre, ser-vā-re, servāre; cōnsūmptus, cōn-sūmp-tus, cōnsūmptus.
    However, a stop (p, b, t, d, c, g) plus a liquid (l,r) generally count as a single consonant and go with the following vowel:
    patrem, pa-trem, patrem; castra, cas-tra, castra.
    Also counted as single consonants are qu and the aspirates ch, ph, th, which should never be separated in syllabification:
    architectus, ar-chi-tec-tus, architectus; loquācem, lo-quā-cem, loquācem.

    Also see this post for a syllabifier from Fr. Matthew Spencer
