I read this article with interest until I reached the music, the time
signature is 6/8—six quavers in a bar—but in bar 1 there are 7
quavers and in bar 2 the left hand has 6 quavers and the right hand seems to
have 6.5 quavers.

Most musicians wouldn’t have any difficulty with seven quavers in a bar, but
how is bar 2 meant to be played?
