Background:

Hi, whom ever uploaded this (thanks) but the viola part is missing one stave (so far, have not looked too far yet) from the Overture and is thus, unusable as it stands.

Detail:

Viola, page 5 missing bottom stave (one can see the rehearsal mark "Q" there but no stave below it).

Can someone please sort this out?

I had a look at Corelle Quentins's typeset Ouverture. The last staff of p.5 of Chapell's viola part begins with meas. 289 and the first 2 staves of p.6 begin with meas. 295 and 300. So there is no music missing.

We’ll take a look at it. What’s the dire need?

As Coulonnus said — There isn’t anything missing. The Rehearsal Marking for Q was put underneath the staff as there probably wasn’t any room in the correct placing for it above the staff when these parts were engraved.

Has anybody enough time to search the same rehearsal Q in the other versions or other parts?

Take a look at the Overture that’s uploaded that’s the Kalmus reprint. It’s clear enough that “Q” is in the correct spot, but just below the stave in the Viola part….
