Long accent in A (→GEEE,IE)

in FE

We interpret the A mark as a long accent, as it is graphically related only to the minim at the beginning of the bar. We similarly assess the slightly longer marks in GE, IE and EE. On the other hand, the FE mark is clearly longer, hence we reproduce it as a  hairpin.
