b. 297

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

g in R.H. in EE & GC (→GE)

g in L.H. in FE
..

In FE, the note g is allocated to the L.H. It is hard to tell whether it reflects the notation of the hand-written base text for that edition or is a result of misunderstanding Chopin's notation by the engraver.

GE

The asterisk  is placed differently in different sources. We take the version of EE  as it is consistent with the notation of most analogous places and blends naturally with the notation of the rhythm.

b. 304

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE, GC, FE & GE2

No marking in GE1

The absence of  in GE1 is definitely an oversight, and it got corrected in GE2.
