A minim in A (→GE)

A dotted minim in FE (→EE)

In FE (→EE) the upper voice minims at the beginning of bars 6 and 8 are furnished with dots extending their rhythmic values. This contradicts the notation of A (→GE). The error could have resulted from reading the staccato dot on the 2bnd beat as the extending dot for the minim.
