The sources differ in the presence of cautionary accidentals:  before c are in GE and FE2; the  before the grace note d1 is in FE (→EE). The sharps before f and f1 were added by us.

This and two similar remarks in subsequent lines (one per each line) concern the differences in the presence of accidentals. We have included all situations in which at least one of the sources differs from the others, but in which the presence or absence of the sign does not raise any doubts, as far as the correct sound is concerned.
