Long accent on 2nd crotchet in A

Long accent on 1st crotchet in GE (→FE)

Short accent on 1st crotchet in EE

In spite of writing the bottom arm with great flourish, the sign in A is undoubtedly a long accent on the 2nd crotchet in the bar. The visible accents on the 1st crotchet in the editions are a result of misunderstanding the notation of A. Similarly in bar 34.
