But it's not in the original source, and putting in without 
parentheses indicates it's an original reading, and that is the 
*worst* kind of thing to do in this kind of music, as it removes any 
interpretive role for the performer.

If I were going to add anything, the cautionary Eb would be the only, 
simply because the cross relation might trip up the ear of the 
singer.

But as I said before, I'd leave it as is in the original, because 
it's perfectly clear and unambiguous as it stands, without any 
editiorial additions.
