Tied minim in GC, FE, EE & GE3

Dotted minim in GE1

Minim without tie in GE2 

It is hard to state how the erroneous version of GE1 occurred, as the e minim, held with a tie, lasts the same as the dotted minim, one can assume an attempt (failed) to rationalise Chopin's notation. In any case, the erroneous dot extending e was removed in GE2, yet the tie was not added, which happened only in GE3.
