Long accent in A (→GE, literal reading)

Short accent in FE, EE & IE

The long accent of A was reproduced in GE as a mark whose range is in between the short and the long one, hence it is unclear whether it should be short or long. However, it is longer than typical short accents, e.g. in bar 153, hence we consider it a long accent. In the remaining editions it was interpreted as a short accent.
