Accent in Ap

Long accent in FE (→GE1)

Short accent in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) i EE3 (→EE4)

In the main text we give a long accent on the basis of clear handwritten entry by Chopin in FEcor. The sign in FE (→GE1) is significantly shorter, yet it can still be considered a long accent. Later GE and EE already have a common short accent (except for EE2, in which the sign was overlooked). The accent under the part of the L.H. in Ap should also be considered as rather a short one.
