  b. 27-28

  in A, contextual interpretation

  in FC

  in FE (→EE)

  in GE

In both  marks in A the top arm is clearly longer than the bottom one. We adopt the range of the top arm, written first, in accordance with the more carefully written mark in similar b. 26. The relatively minor inaccuracies in the reproduction of the   marks in FC were exaggerated in GE, in which attempts were taken at placing the marks in such a way that they fill the entire bars. A similar manner, although only in b. 27, can also be seen in FE (→EE).
