So this sheet is a little complicated.  Basically, FFX features a 'song' that is used throughout the game.  In the OST, there are 11 versions of this song that are purely vocal: 'Hum of the Fayth' and 10 different versions of 'Hymn'.  The sheet currently on site seems to just be the melody of this song doubled/tripled in octaves, and to be honest I have no idea which particular track they were transcribing from.  In my sheet, I have included all 11 of the previously mentioned variations in OST order.  All of the relevant youtube links are below, in the same order that they appear in the sheet.

woah page 3 is really something after the rest of them

Yayy replacement.

- Not sure if this goes for other sheets as well, but the subtitle is really close to the title on the sheet.
- Are you sure about the E-F dissonance in m. 7? Could that be written with a C instead of E or should it be different from before (m. 3) here?

Looks terrific

Indeed it is.

I moved it down one pip.  Hopefully that's enough.

- Are you sure about the E-F dissonance in m. 7? Could that be written with a C instead of E or should it be different from before (m. 3) here?

I had another check and yes I'm pretty confident that the voice in m.3 goes E -> C -> E but the voice in bar 7 goes E -> E -> E -> C (the last two being quavers rather than crotchets).  It probably doesn't sound quite as clashy in the original due to the voicings (the E is actually being sang an octave lower in both cases, but I couldn't think of a consistent voicing that kept every voice at the correct pitch).

Looks terrific

Thanks!

Alrighty :3 approved!

For m.7 of Hymn - Spira: Sounds like the first beat should have something in eighths? Not quite sure what you're doing there. I understand why you've done some revoicing in other places, though

Otherwise, I think it's good

[Libera]

You're right; I think I was over-simplifying things at that point.  I've edited to include some quaver movement as you suggested.  While I was there I also edited bar 3 of Spira to move the F# to the left hand to better show how to play that six note chord.

Thanks!
