Each of the ten minims in that fragment has a long accent in A, and although the signs differ in length, reproducing them with the use of various markings (, long and short accents) seems not fully justified graphically and unconvincing from the musical point of view. In GE1 the signs were interpreted in two ways, either as ordinary short accents (bars 77, 81 and 82) or as from the minim to the crotchet. That notation was repeated in FE with just one change in bar 77. In EE, marks were used in bars 73-78 and accents in bars 81-88. The notation of A was most faithfully reproduced in GE2 (→GE3): long accents in bars 73-82 and in bars 85-88. That version may be considered an alternative reading of A.
