g3-d4 in FC (literal reading→GE)

f3-d4 in FC (interpretation), FE & EE

FC has most probably f3 as the bottom note, same as FE and EE, however, the note head is written inaccurately, too high. FC includes a number of similar inaccuracies, cf., e.g., the bottom note of the 12th semiquaver in bar 11. In GE this note was misinterpreted as g3.
