The accent in A seems to be short; however, when the note head of the minim had not been set in bold type yet, the impression could have been different. Therefore, it may be possible that it is actually the accent in GE1 (→FE), clearly longer than the accents in bars 401-402, that reproduces the proportions between the accent and the note head before it was set in bold type, hence written by Chopin's hand. Since a long accent seems to be more appropriate in this case, in the main text we give a sign in the form interpreted by GE1.
