A review of sound checks from the upper bench and repair notes from the masons finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the stone music room at North Hall. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the newest stone panel reflects a signal toward the rear doorway.

The sound checks from the upper bench and repair notes from the masons lists 98 seating rows where a spoken announcement is clear; the previous window lists 101. Lina Vale checked both against service rosters compared with the hours a resident can actually reach a desk. The source was checked against a second copy held by Evi Noll. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.

Singers value the hall’s old return. Public clerks need a clear spoken announcement at every seat. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.

This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how to improve announcement clarity without changing the hall’s music balance.

The clerk closes the docket and gives the next review a fresh scope. The board closed this docket after it adopted an adjusted schedule for the next service window. The next window starts with a fresh record.
