 in FC & FE, probable interpretation

 in GE (possible interpretation of FC)

No markings in EE1 (→EE2)

 in EE3

The  sign is placed in the sources between the 1st and 2nd beat of the bar, so it is unclear from which moment it is supposed to be valid. It is particularly visible in FC – a big sign, placed in the centre, seems to include the first two beats of the bar. However, when interpreted formally, it is valid only from the 2nd beat and this is how it was understood in GE. In the main text we assume that the hint refers to the entire bar (in any case, to the entire initial part of it). It is also compatible with the interpretation of FE.

The  reach , hence the moment of their ending depends on the location of this sign.
