The change of the arrangement of the accents in GE (→FE,EE,IE) probably resulted from the conviction of the engraver of GE that the first mark concerns the b1 note in the R.H., which does not stem from the A notation at all. In the main text we convey the difference in the size of the marks by using various types of accents. In GE the marks differ in their size, but it seems to be accidental, which is proven by the remaining editions based on GE, in which the marks are practically identical.
