Long accent in A

Short accent in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

According to us, in spite of the fact that the accent in this bar is slightly shorter in A than the marks in b. 69 and 76, this difference has no significance, and the accent should be regarded as long. However, both the copyist in FC and the engraver in FE considered it a common, short accent.
