b. 95-96

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in A

No slur in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

The slur in A is inconspicuous, which explains it having been overlooked in the remaining sources. However, it was certainly intended by Chopin, since an identical indication is present in analogous b. 227-228.

b. 96

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Crotchet a in A (→FC→GE)

Quaver in FE (→EE)
..

The quaver in FE (→EE) is almost certainly a mistake: in analog. b. 228 A also features a crotchet, which practically rules out the possibility of Chopin having overlooked a quaver flag.

b. 98

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE) & GE1

 in FC & GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin written by Chopin in FC. The mark was overlooked in GE1 and added in GE2 (→GE3), undoubtedly on the basis of FC.

b. 99-100

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE)

 in FC (→GE1)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin written by Chopin in FC (→GE1). The two-bar mark in GE2 (→GE3) is a result of a standard revision adjusting hairpins (and also, e.g. slurs) to rhythmic structures, e.g. bars.

b. 100-101

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

a2 repeated in A (→FE,FC→GE)

a2 tied in EE
..

The tie of a2 present in EE also between b. 100-101 was almost certainly added as a result of revision.
