  b. 8

No mark in CLI & GE4 (→GE5)

Long accent in FE

Short accent in GE1 (→GE2→GE3) & EE

The accent sign in FE is clearly different than in bars 1-2. Most probably, according to Chopin's intentions, it was supposed to be a long accent. Both in GE and in EE it was rendered as a casual short accent. In GE4 (→GE5) the sign was omitted, which was probably a mistake.
