Rhythmic notation in FE1

FE2 & EE1

GE

EE2

The notation of the upper voice in FE1 –  rhythm with the quaver being moved outside the last quaver of the lower voice – indicates the engraver's error, who placed the notes in accordance with the double dotted rhythm (as in GE), yet he added only one dot and stem to them. The error was revised in FE2 and EE1 by correcting the placement of notes and not their rhythmic values. In EE2 the double dotted rhythm was introduced, without changing the layout of the notes.
