b. 78-79

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

Without dots in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Dots in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In GE2 (→GE3), staccato dots were added under bass notes A flat. We consider the addition lacking grounds here, as Chopin used a dot to separate the bass lowered by an octave in bar 77 from among five consecutive bars (75-79) based on the A flat7 chord.

b. 79-87

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

A slur under the triplet in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Triplet slur absent in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The extra slurs under the triplets in bars 79, 83 and 87 in A (GE1→FE→EE) were omitted in GE2 (→GE3). In the context, those slurs are just part of the triplet markings and we do not take them into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).
