Semiquavers in A (→FC,FE→EE1)

Demisemiquavers in GE & EE2

The change of the number of beams introduced by GE is wrong – in a  bar, it is groups including at least 32 notes (but less than 64) that should be written as demisemiquavers. In this situation, the fact that this mistake was repeated in EE2 is puzzling.
