Long accent in AF (contextual interpretation→FE)

Short accent in EE

In AF the long accent under the culminant g2 minim reaches as far as the beginning of the next bar; therefore, taking into account the preceding  and the following , one may also interpret it as a diminuendo mark. However, a comparison with the unequivocal long accents in b. 94, 98 suggests that the mark should rather be interpreted as an accent.
