In GE the top notes of the 3rd and 4th quavers were misplaced, i.e. a third too low (3rd quaver, g-b-d1) or too high (4th quaver, g-f1-a1 when interpreted literally). In the manuscripts and GE those notes are placed on the top stave, among the R.H. quavers, which significantly hampers their interpretation.
