Hi, if the letter that is replaced by the fourth letter of the two-word theme phrase is indeed an E (and we need an E for the four-word phrase), then which E needs to be changed? I can see four possibilities, but making the necessary substitution doesn’t appear to give any real words. Help, please!

Thanks, unclued, I’d put in the singular (“fermata”), but of course the definition “pauses” is plural. Now I can get on with my life!
