 on quaver f in A (→GE1→FE)

 on chord in EE & GE2

In A the  sign concerns the F quaver, which can be also deduced from the inaccurate notation of GE1 (→FE). However, in EE and GE2 the sign was moved towards the four-note chord so that it clearly changed its sense – delaying the moment of pressing pedal by one quaver deprives the chord of an audible bass note.
