Long accents in A

FE (→EE)

Short accents in GE

Possible short accents in A

In FE (→GE,EE) the accents were assigned to the right hand and put over the upper stave. The notation of A is ambiguous in this respect, therefore, in the main text we place the signs between the staves. In GE short accents were used, in accordance with this edition's most frequent manner of reproducing all "accent-like" signs of different length featured in FE. Also in this aspect the notation of A is not entirely unanimous, hence we permit an alternative interpretation of the accents as short.
