True, Peter. The Siena doesn't use the same rhythm in the answering statement. Arthur Ness gives the exact Siena version in tab and his transcription suggests a change to make both opening statements rhythmically identical. Moreover there is a version of this very Ricercar in an English manuscript, Cambridge Univ. Library, Add. Ms 3056, which changes the Siena version to make both statement conform, like Arthur suggested in his transcription. That's what I play, and it would be interesting to have Arthur's opinion on that...
