Long accent in A & FE

in GE

No marking in EE

Longer  in IE

The A mark is a quite typical long accent, yet in GE it was clearly placed after the note and prolonged, which made it resemble a  hairpin. Interestingly enough, none of the remaining editions reproduced it correctly:

  • in FE it was moved over the minim and shortened, which resulted in a version that is surprisingly similar to the A notation,
  • in EE it was omitted,
  • in IE it was extended.
