in AI & AF

in FE

No sign in EE

in GE1

Inverted long accent in GE2

We consider that the  hairpins in AI and AF are of the same range – the mark begins over the d1 crotchet in AI, and under the f1 minim in AF, hence in both cases on the 2nd beat of the bar. In GE the mark is a reversed long accent at the beginning of b. 9, yet it is highly likely that it was reproduced inaccurately due to the transition into a new line, starting from b. 9 – an earlier beginning is particularly indicated by its placement in GE1. Therefore, uncertain as to the exact range of the mark in [AG], in the main text we convey the hairpin after AF.
The version of FE is inaccurate, whereas the one of EE – erroneous.
