b. 57

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

A long accent in A (→GE)

A short accent in  FE (→EE)
..

A long accent from A (→GE) was reproduced in FE (→EE) as a short one. This is certainly the engraver's inaccuracy.

category imprint: Differences between sources

issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE

b. 57

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

A vertical accent in  A (→GE2)

 Without an accent in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

 A (→#Wn2) has a vertical accent that was omitted in GE1 (→FE→EE), most probably by mistake.

issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Vertical accents

b. 57

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

A dot in A

No staccato sign in  GE (→FE→EE)

The editors' variant proposal
..

In A, a dot can be seen above G flat that can be interpreted as a staccato sign. That dot is absent from the editions.

..

We add a cautionary  before c3.

No  mark in A (→GE→FE)

 in EE

The editors'  suggestion
..

After the  mark placed mid-bar, A (→GE→FE) do not have . This is probably Chopin's oversight (bar. 57 is the last bar on the page in A, and such a situation is conducive to all types of mistakes and inaccuracies); therefore, we propose supplementation of pedal markings. The pedal release asterisk was added in that place already in EE.
