- Edition notes: This file contains only 14 bars of the Frykman edition of White's Lamentations for six voices, starting at bar 145. In the full score, this section is presented as a duo, and, as the main original source (the Baldwin Part Books) contains no indication of the number of parts that would have been singing at this point, it is impossible to know whether or not the composer intended this section to be a trio instead, incorporating a part shown in the missing Tenor partbook. Whether such a part is needed is a matter of opinion and conjecture, therefore, but one is supplied here. The relationship between the two 'O vos omnes' sections is also curious: White does not make a habit of repeating sections of text elsewhere, but does so here, and there are also musical similarities between the two consecutive sections that set the words.

- Edition notes: The outer clefs are C1 and C5, which imply downward transposition, of a tone in this case. Then the upward transposition of a tone due to the pitch change leaves us where we were, but better informed. The alto parts are laid out for high tenors. The treble part is unusually low, perhaps responding to the sombre text. If transposed down, the tenor part is for a bass.
- The tenor part has been lost except for two fragments in Paston sources. The rest has been reconstructed.
- There is a mean gymell at Omnis Populus. Editorial accidentals are marked with a small circle.
