Slur to end of bar 168 in GC, $FE (→EE) & GE2

Slur to end of bar 161 in GE1

The error in GE1 might have resulted from the inaccurate notation of GC – the slur in bar 166 (last in the system) only reaches to the last crotchet despite the slur in the subsequent bars distinctly indicating a continuation. In GE2 that notation was interpreted correctly.
