b. 678

		No mark in A (→FE→EE)
		in FC (literal reading→GE1)
		Short accent in GE2 (→GE3)
		Long accent suggested by the editors

According to Chopin, this bar is supposed to be a repetition of b. 227. Due to the reasons discussed in the note concerning that bar, in the main text we interpret the mark written there by Chopin as a long accent. A similar solution was adopted also in GE2 (→GE3).
