In the main text we keep the Chopinesque abbreviation and its position in A (we only correct the manifest orthographic error – one 'g' is missing). There is no reason for moving the indication to the beginning of the bar, as it was done in GE (→FE,EE,IE). Writing the abbreviation in full in EE was rational, although it is highly likely that it does not exactly correspond to Chopin's intention – see the note on this abbreviation in the Variations in B, Op. 12, bar 14.
In IE the indication's orthography was modernised – cf. the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, mov. III, bar 81.

The shifted  hairpin in FE and EE is a typical example of marks being adjusted to rhythmic structures, in this case a demisemiquaver beam.
