No sign in FE, EE & GE

Chopin added the  hairpins in FEG, yet in GE1 (→GE2→GE3) they are absent. The sign is also absent in FE and EE.

b. 230-231

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In FE0 (→FE,EE) the slur ends on the last semiquaver in bar 230. In FEG (→GE) Chopin extended the slur to the 1st crotchet in bar 231. The composer probably overlooked the respective correction in the base texts to EE and FE.
