  b. 18

Long accent in A, contextual interpretation

 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

We assume that the A mark refers to the R.H. minim, which results from the unquestionable notation of the three following, analogous bars. Therefore, it is a long accent, which is also confirmed by the evident accents in the next bars. In GE (→FE,EE,IE), although the position of the mark also points to the R.H., its length was adjusted to the L.H. triplet, as a result of which it looks more like a  hairpin.
