Staccato dots in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Wedges in GE3

From bar 137 onwards, hence without a sensible relation to music, the staccato marks, with which FE (→EE,GE1GE2) provided the bass quavers, change from wedges to dots. It applies to bars 137-138 and 140, since the marks we would expect in bars 141-142 do not appear in that sources (see the note on those bars; moreover, the first quavers in bars 138 and 140 are discussed separately). According to us, the change of marks is probably a result of an inaccurate interpretation of [A]. Due to this reason, in the main text we continue marking those quavers with wedges. Such a unification was introduced also in GE3 (to a lesser extent due to omissions of marks in bars 138 and 140).
