Hairpins in A

FE (→EE), GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2Ab

No signs in GE1op & GE1Ab

The  hairpin is shifted in FE – contrary to A – to the beginning of the bar. In the editors opinion, this is due to inaccuracy. In GE1op and GE1Ab both  and  signs were overlooked in these bars, what later versions of GE supplemented.
