Doug Adams' LOTR soundtrack annotation bug Can't Post

I have been recently studying Doug Adams' notes for the Lord of the Rings Complete Recordings. In the booklet, he has a notation for the Fellowship theme. However, my inner sense of hearing says to me that he is in fact wrong.
The note G which is marked blue (and is depicted as such both in the CR booklet and the "Music of LOTR" book) should in fact be a B (marked red).



Now I wonder - is this an already known mistake or am I the first one to actually trying to read these notes?

Could it be that the player is supposed to transpose or something?

Perhaps you are comparing a different statement of the theme than the example is taken from?

has to be a misprint [In reply to] Can't Post

That note should be B flat - the flat would already be in effect from earlier in the measure. I can't recall any variation on the theme which called for a 'g' in that position. I did read the book but probably only got a measure or so into each example unless it was something I couldn't place right away. I believe you're correct.
