  b. 52

Taking into account the highly predictable structure of the chromatic scale, we do not include cautionary accidentals in it. FE includes a  before F, while GC (→GE1) also before f. Each of these versions of notation can be authentic. In turn, seven cautionary signs in EE (F, A, B, c, f, a, c1) and nine in GE2 (→GE3) – featuring also e and b – are certainly a result of editorial interventions.
