Our interpretation of accents in A
..

The accent in bar 10 in A is shorter than a few previous ones and the one in bar 11; however, it seems to be an inaccurate notation. In the editions the sign in bar 11 was omitted.

Probable  in Ap

Possible long accent in Ap
..

Same as in analogous bars 3-4, we propose an alternative interpretation of the short  sign, resembling an accent, visible in Ap at the end of bar 11. A similar problem appears also in bars 12, 38 and 39.
