Long accent in GC

No mark in FE

Short accent in GE & EE

It is not entirely clear which type of accent Chopin had on his mind here. According to us, an inaccurate reproduction of the long accent in EE is, however, more likely than the reverse situation – the copyist's writing a long accent in place of the short sign in [A]. The sign in GC, very characteristic for Chopin's handwriting, could have been written with his hand.
