 in A

No sign in GE1op & GE1Ab (→GE2Ab)

 in #GE2 op (→GE3op)
..

In the main text, we give the  hairpin on the basis of A. The versions of the editions are either an inaccurate image of A, as it is in the case of FE (→EE), or a result of a revision unifying similar places – GE2op (→GE3op). In the remaining GE the sign was overlooked.
