Carrie's guidance stands in this case. The conservative single-word
modification is probably best.

I remember from what Carrie told me in the past if it affects readability, we
are allowed to modify formatting to enable more fluid reading. In this case, I
would fully capitalize or lower case any mixed words, but leave the rest as in
print. Others may have another opinion, and I believe it is still open to
discussion. I have done both previous to Carrie's feedback and now I alter only
the one word until I am told differently.
Hope that helps, Nancy!

Good Evening,
I’m validating a book where, when the scene changes, the first few words of the
new scene are all in upper case. It actually has more to do with distance, I
think, because sometimes the capitalization ends in the middle of a word.
The scanner identifies this correctly, and the first few words are
appropriately capitalized. I could do nothing, which would certainly be
easiest, but if someone is listening to this book aloud, they will sometimes
hear words mispronounced, since the first part of the word is capitalized,
while the rest is not.
Do I leave the capitalization alone, even though it causes the book to be read
oddly?
Thanks.
