2 half-bar long  in A (contextual interpretation→FEEE)

Different  in FC

Different  in GE

Both  marks in these bars have clearly different arms in A – the top arm begins in the middle of the bar, while the bottom one – on the 2nd beat. According to us, it is the top arm that should be regarded as reliable, since it was written first. This is how those marks were interpreted in FE (→EE) and the latter also in FC (inaccurately reproduced in GE). In FC (→GE) in b. 15 Fontana averaged the length of the arms.
