A grace note added in FED

No grace note in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Our suggestion - grace note as a variant.
..

The grace note in FED definitely indicates the manner to begin a trill. This allows us to read it, despite unclear notation, as a c2. We add a cautionary natural because of c flat1 in the L.H. part.
