  b. 76

Dotted minims in A & FE2

Minims in FC (→GE), FE1 & EE1

Minim & crotchet in EE2

The distinct dots prolonging the d1-f1 third are overlooked in both FC (→GE) and FE1. They are restored in FE2, but omitted again in EE1, possibly by analogy with b. 80. The third added on the 4th beat in EE2 accounts for an arbitrary revision presumably aiming at complementing the supposedly missing rhythmic value, with reference to bars 1 and 20.
Similarly in b. 80.
