Short accents in  GE and EE3

..

The type of the accents over the four triplets in bars 25-26 and 29-30 is unclear in A. On the one hand, they are not much longer than some other, undoubtedly short, accents and therefore were read as short accents in GE (→FE→EE). On the other hand, they do not much differ from the long accents in analogous bars 17-18 & 21-22. In this situation we consider the uniform marking of all those places to be more likely.

FE (→EE1) the accent in bar 29 was omitted.
