No tied notes b in As & AI

Tied notes b in A (→FE→EE) & GE2no2

Tied note b in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op) & GE1no2

As in bars 68-69 Chopin did not mark the sustention of the note b in the earlier autographs. The tie was also omitted in most GE (except GE2no2). If not an error by the engraver of GE1op & GE1no2, this could indicate that the tie was added in FE in the last stage of proofreading (despite its presence in A).
