First I thought it was a weird flat sign, but when I played the score it sounded odd. It looks a bit like a natural sign.

Here's the whole measure:

    The notes partially look like handwritten. Is this the case? If so, could it be the writer's way to write a quarter rest?

    They do look like natural signs, but it is hard to tell out of context. Would natural signs make sense there? Can you post a picture of the whole measure?

  • if it's a flat sign, I may have been confused by the shape the composer used in the bass line @Peter

    Who is the composer, and can you get in touch with them? Mar 13, 2019 at 13:18

    @CarlWitthoft definitely not. It's Bernard Herrmann

    Strangely, the first natural sign in the lower desk looks different. But for handwritten, not to mention the resultant harmony, flat sign is almost certainly wrong. Mar 13, 2019 at 13:18
  • I don't think there are any other feasible options!+1. And Bernard knew a thing or two.

  • Yes. I'm surprised there have been other opinions!
