Solemn Salve: "ti" or "ta" in "nobis"?

    Dear people of the Musica Sacra Forum,

    In the 1934 Solesmes Antiphonale Monasticum, I find the third note on "no" in "nobis" to be "ti", i.e. natural (see the first image, from page 177).

    In the 2005 Solesmes Antiphonale Monasticum, I find it as a "ta", i.e. flat (see the second image, from page 15 of volume 2).

    My question is:

    Is there a correct version?

    A related question: I previously shared a Latin-English Compline booklet that I had made (Compline Booklet Download (Latin-English side-by-side, LOTH, complete)), and am now wondering what should be in it. I noticed that Hudelmaier's OCO, the Marian antiphons have references to the 1934 AM; does this mean I should replace the 2005 version, which I provided, with the 1934 version?

    Any assistance is much appreciated, as I am new to chant, and have no idea how to find the answer to these sorts of questions on my own.

    In Christ,
    Jeremy.
    Laudetur Jesus Christus!

    I'm no scholar so all I would do is compare some of the 23 versions in Gregobase.selapa.net, and pick one. I see in other pieces that we have done that ascending sounds as la-ta, a half tone, so flattened, and descending do-ti is also a half tone, so natural.
