Three accents in AI

Seven long accents in FE (→EE)

Differentiated marks in GE1 (→GE1a→GE2)

Longer  in GE3

Shorter  in GE4 (→GE5)

The accents, written in AI only in bar 35, most probably are to be considered as a model. It is confirmed by seven signs visible in FE (→GE,EE). The signs in FE (→EE), despite varied length and imprecise arrangement, are certainly long accents. In turn, it is not clear in GE, in which there is a visible tendency to extend the signs.
