I'd earlier listed the doubles QF line up for Emilie + but read the draw the wrong way. Here's the correct line up, providing it would seem better prospects for progress than my earlier stated match up against the 3rd seeds.
Naydenova was a late entrant so is listed as a qualifier but did not have to play a q match. Should have too much for Emilie, but will be a good test for her.
R16: (q) Emilie LINDH (GBR) (age 18, born 2000) UNR vs Aleksandrina NAYDENOVA (BUL) [1] 574 (CH:238 Jan 17)
Thst's Emilie now going to be ranked in doubles too with her 3rd counter, 6 points in total so far ( well just as long as she doen't lose it due to a QF withdrawal which can happen in women's doubles ).

Paulina did in fact retire from the 3rd set of her singles, but she and Emilie are still listed in tomorrow's OOP so with luck she is ok to continue. Emilie's R16 match is first up tomorrow too.
SF: Paulina JASTRZEBSKA/ Emilie LINDH (POL/GBR) UNR (889+UNR) vs Maria MASINI/ Olga PARRES AZCOITIA (ITA/ESP) [1] 1114 (706+408)
Edit: And to confirm that this tournament is Emilie's 3rd doubles counter too. The first, another SF, was gained in early October 17 though, so this has to be replaced within the next month for her to keep the doubles ranking longer than that (or win the title here).

Emilie + are underway in their SF and have just lost a tight first set 5-7. An interesting dilemma for Emilie should they win. She is entered into a 15k in Batumi (which is a Black Sea resort town), Georgia next week, and the qualifying sign in is 1800 tomorrow evening. The other interesting thing about that is there are only 32 people in the MD and qualifying, so ostensibly there won't be any need for qualifying; the matches will simply be all byes. As far as I know even if qualifying is redundant, there is still the need to sign in at the stated time?
In the Batumi draw, Emilie is 3rd last on the q list. Once her point goes on from this week and she has a ranking, she would then in fact be seeded in the MD. The difference it will make for her...
Well, if Emilie does want to get to Batumi she won't have any distractions now as she and Paulina lose out to the top seeds. A remarkable week for her that she will never forget.

You wouldn't know if qualifying was redundant until after the sign in deadline as there may be players not on the acceptance list who turn up and sign in as an on site alternate. As Emilie has played today, providing she can get on site in time for her first match, she could ask the ITF Supervisor to sign her in.

Thanks for the clarification RS, that's helpful to know.
