Dear Thomas, thanks. I was unaware of that override.
It generates exactly what is in the original copy I have.
I am not entirely sure why an E natural could not be used in the setting I
described,
as there, an E natural would be unambiguous about the pitch.
Ive only seen this oddity once. It appeared in the "Fantasy Etudes for
Viola" written by
Lillian Fuchs who was a significant contributor to Viola in the USA.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.
