With this additional information, I would say: 1.75
So this isn't the first time he screwed up, and you're responsible for his fuck-ups. Definitely let him know that. If he's the "stew in his own juices" type, don't do much about it. He'll do a better job with guilt tripping than you ever will.
If he doesn't care much, then just ask him not to do it again. Then, explain what's going on to the man who has the music, and make a copy of his part beforehand. We swim in redundant copies of everything with our literary magazine, I don't see why you can't have a back-up copy of sheet music, especially for the people who are more prone to do this.
I know some section leaders in my school. Here, at least, they think they have a lot of power, but they really don't. People perceive them as the Orchestra sponsor's bitches. I don't know what it's like where you are, but try not to cross that line, regardless. Once you're there, it's only a few short steps to people writing nasty limericks about you in instrument cases.
I'm not sure if that actually happened to the ones I know or not, but according to the oppressed, they certainly deserved it. So, I guess the point is, don't be too harsh or it'll make it worse.
In conclusion: Let him know he did something wrong, ask him not to do it again, then go behind his back and make a copy of his part.
