Triplet slur in A1

Whole-bar slur in CJ

Half-bar slur in CK (probable interpretation→CB)

No slur in EL

The significant difference between the slurs of CJ and CK suggests that one of them is probably inaccurate (or both). In the main text we adopt the slur of CJ, which is a natural continuation of the slur in b. 5-6. In our interpretation, the slur of CK encompasses the entire 2nd half of the bar.

See b. 5-6
