We interpret two accents visible in A as long ones, as they do not differ from the remaining ones on this page of the manuscript. In FE (→GE,EE) only the upper accent was reproduced (as a short one). Due to the fact that the completeness of Chopin's proofreading of FE is dubious, we base the main text entirely on A.

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

Long accent in A & EE3 (→EE4)

Short accent in FE (→GE)

No mark in EE2
..

The accent visible in A should be, according to us, interpreted as a long one. The mark of FE is ambiguous, which we interpret in favour of a common short accent. This is how it was interpreted in GE. In turn, EE gives a long accent (except for EE2 which is devoid of the mark).
