b. 462

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

Just like in b. 360, A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE1) features a reminding  before g1. The mark, superfluous in this context, was removed in GE2 (→GE3) and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 470-472

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 d3 in EE & GC (→GE)

No accidentals in FE
..

In FE no naturals lowering d3 to d3 in b. 470 or d2 to d2 in b. 472 must be seen as errors, which is further confirmed by their lack in GC, despite the fact that Chopin personally filled them in. Naturals in EE may have been added based on the previous three corresponding occurrences of this phrase (bars 176, 220 and 308). Sharps in bars 445, 447, 466 also show that  Chopin was not sure over a longer phrase if  (d) belonged to the key signature.

b. 470

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

A features a cautionary  before e3 in the last triplet, yet the necessary  lowering d3 to d3 is missing. A flat was added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), however, no source removed the superfluous .

b. 470

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

Just like in b. 360 and 462, A (→FC,FE→EE) features a cautionary  before g. The superfluous mark was removed in GE. In this context it is also the  before d, present in all sources, that is unjustified, hence we omit it in the main text.
