In A the presence of staccato dots over the bass notes in all figures of this type, both whole-bar (bars 7-8) and half-bar (bars 9-13, 15 and 17) is beyond any doubts, although one is missing (the second in bar 9, over B
) and two other are placed over the notes that were deleted in the original version (the first in bars 10 and 15). In GE1 (→FE) the majority of them were omitted (only the dots in bars 8, 11-12 and 17 remained). EE and GE2 include versions close to the main text: in EE only the first dot in bar 13 is missing, while in GE2 – the one in bar 15.
