Apr 25 at 1:25	comment	added	Aaron		@Peter I considered that, but felt that the rhythmic pulses were the larger goal, including in the melody. There's no evident reason to place the "g" next to the G rather than the E, especially since that would be implied by the beaming. It comes back to the core issue of music intent, "flashiness" intent, and overall effective playing. The downstem being attached to the G is another hint, but I'm also a bit surprised there isn't an accent of some kind there as well.

But the letter g at note 5 probably belongs to the note E and not the note G - observe how it is the same position relative to the E as the later g is to the note A. The closeness of the letter g to the note G probably comes from the typesetting. It makes sense to play the G with the RH as it is part of the melody, and the melody is more coherent if played with one hand.
