The accent type that Chopin had in mind here is unclear. Judging from its size, the accent mark in A resembles a short accent; still, most short accents on that page of A are even smaller  (e.g. in bars 116, 118, 120, 124). On the other hand, the shape is typical for long accents. GE (→FE→EE) all have short accents.

b. 120-122

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

Long accents in A (→GE→FE)

Short accents in EE
..

In EE, no account was taken of the difference between the accents from bars 120 and 122 visible in A (→GE→FE). The accent in bar 122 in GE1 differs very slightly from the neighbouring short accents, yet this small difference was enough to have its type correctly recognized in FE.
