N:Bar 5 of the ground is |:kc3 pA {d}c4 se2{d}c{g}e f4| in the book.
N:GS didn't title the sections himself.
N:The book doesn't indicate that you repeat the ground at the end; it also
N:doesn't indicate that the e in the {ged} group is held as a cadence note.
N:Don't take the way the computer plays this too seriously!
