Quaver in A (→FC→GE)

Crotchet in FE & EE

The value of quaver for g2 is most probably the original version, inadvertently left in A (→FC→GE). It is indicated by the deleted slurs visible in A, grouping the chords in two in this bar. The value of crotchet was introduced probably in the base text to EE and in proofreading of FE. Cf. the adjacent note.
