    [For part I, cf. ibid. 21, 75-179 (1985; Zbl 0573.17012).] From the introduction: ``The purpose of the present paper is to introduce and to describe the flat structure on the ring of invariant \(\theta\)- functions for an extended affine root system.'' ``An extended affine root system \(R\) is a root system associated to a positive semi-definite Killing form with radical of rank 2. The extended Weyl group \(W_ R\) for \(R\) is an extension of a finite Weyl group \(W_ f\) by a Heisenberg group \(H_ R\). A Coxeter element \(c\) is defined in the group, whose power generates the center of the Heisenberg group.'' ``The \(W_ R\)-invariant ring \(S^ W\) is a ring of \(W_ f\)-invariant \(\theta\)-functions on a line bundle \(L\) over a family \(X\) of Abelian varieties, which is associate to \(H_ R\) and on which \(W_ f\) acts.'' ``The flat structure on \(S^ W\) is roughly a certain particular system of homogeneous generators of the algebra \(S^ W\), whose linear span is uniquely characterized by admitting a \({\mathbb{C}}\)-inner product. The goal of the present paper is the construction of the flat structure for the root system with codimension 1. In the construction, the fact that the fixed point set of a Coxeter element is regular with respect to the Weyl group action plays an essential role.''
