A long accent in A and FE

A short accent in GE and EE

The dotted quaver at the beginning of the bar clearly has a  long accent in A. The corresponding mark in GE1 looks like an ordinary short accent, yet it reaches almost to the semiquaver due to the awkward horizontal planning of the notes that form the dotted rhythm. This was probably the reason why the accent from GE1 was interpreted in FE as a long one. EE and GE2 (→GE3) all use accents that are definitely short ones. Cf. bar 100, as well as 46-48.
