HI Jean; I think the error you pointed out to me is also in the original I'm working from, obtained from IMSLP.
I have corrected my engraving (Tuba, Trumpet 1 and Trumpet 2, so far). I would not have known without you pointing it out to me, that this was an error, since I am totally illiterate (99.9999%) in French.
