 for 3 quavers in A

 for 4 quavers in GE1

 for 6 quavers in FE (→EE) & GE2

We reproduce the moment of the beginning of the  hairpin in the main text on the basis of A. In GE1 it was moved a quaver earlier (adjusted to a half of the bar); however, due to a clumsy layout of the text, the sign seems to be reaching until the e2 minim and it was interpreted so both in FE (→EE) and GE2.
