Moving the bass note an octave down must be Fontana's revision. See bars 7-8.

In AO, AR and AK, there is a c1-a1 sixth and a leap to an e. In AE, the sixth was enhanced to a full triad with an additional e1. AG repeats bar 27, with a c1-e1 third on the 2nd beat. The version of F, with a doubly repeated e1-a1 fourth, is rather Fontana's revision.

In CC, the elements of the chord on the 2nd beat are written a third lower - we consider it a Terzverschreibung error; in the edition, we suggest the same chord as in AE.

There is no natural raising b1 to b1 in AG (repetition of bar 27), CY, CC, FC and PE - we add it in the editorial version.
