13 semiquavers in JC

11 semiquavers in EF

13 semiquavers in PE, literal reading

13 semiquavers in PE, probable interpretation

The source discrepancies observed in the notation of the semiquaver group are not easily explicable and interpretable. Out of a number of possibilities, for the main text we adopt a solution which is maximally close to the version of the base source (PE), in which we change an element of auxiliary character, which does not influence significantly the graphic image of notation, at the same time clearly incompatible with this image (the number 11 over the group of 13 notes).
