  b. 9

 in A (→FC,FE→EE), ACh, CGS & GE2 (→GE3)

 in GE1

The fact that the  indication was repeated in GE1 resulted from distraction of the engraver; he did not notice (did not understand?) the  indication written in the abridged marking of that bar in FC. The mistake was rectified in GE2 (→GE3). See also the note to b. 11-12.
