Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M8 original rhythm was 4er (4er 4er 4er 4er) 4er 8th. That is, the rhythm
symbol at p2 was missing. Changed here to 4er 8th (8th 8th 8th) 4er 8th.
M16p6s2 original ornament looked more like a "w" than a "T". Interpreted
here as a trill.

uninterrupted notes on the same string.
