FC
compare
The accent in A has characteristic qualities of a long accent – it is quite narrow and goes beyond the next quaver. In spite of that, both FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) reproduced it as a short one. It is difficult to say for certain which accent George Sand had in mind in her copy – the mark, although longer than the accent in FE, is very similar to it.
