A (→FC,FE) is missing the rest opening the top voice. Since the second time (b. 412) Chopin did write a rest in an identical situation, we consider its absence here to be an oversight. The addition was performed already in GE and EE. See also the note below.

b. 310-333

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

6 longer, 6 shorter slurs in A

2 longer, 9 shorter slurs in FC

10 longer slurs in FE

3 longer, 9 shorter slurs in GE1

9 longer slurs in EE

12 shorter slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

12 longer slurs suggested by the editors

..

The slurs over the motifs of the bottom voice in A are of different length: they encompass the quavers only or reach the minim in the next bar. On many occasions, it is difficult or even impossible to say conclusively which of the slurs Chopin meant. Since there is no visible reason for those actually identical motifs to have different slurs, in the main text we unify them, assuming the six-note slurs to be more frequent in A. None of the remaining sources reproduced Chopin's notation accurately; the differences in FC and FE are exclusively of an accidental nature, whereas GE1, EE and GE2 (→GE3) also introduced arbitrary changes, ordering the notation.

b. 310-311

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

e2 tied in A (→FC), EE & GE2 (→GE3)

e2 repeated in FE & GE1

..

The missing tie of e2 must be mistakes of FE and GE1, corrected in EE and GE2 (→GE3) respectively.
