Short acents in FE (literal reading→EE) & GE3

Long accents in GE1 (→GE2)

The type of accents used by Chopin does not unambiguously result from the notation of FE – the marks are longer than the definitely short accents (e.g. in bars 474-476) and placed slightly after the notes, which may be an argument for long accents. In the main text, we give short accents, since they seem to be more natural in this context.
