  b. 18-19

 in A and GE2 (→GE3)

 in GE1 (→FE→EE)

The  in A certainly applies to the 3rd beat of bar 18. Despite that, in GE1 (→FE→EE) it was placed at the beginning of bar 19, according to a rather mechanically applied rule that markings of that type should be placed in advance. In GE2 (→GE3) this interpretation was revised and the marking moved back to bar 18.
