b. 425-426

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

c1 tied in A (→FC, →FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

c1 repeated in GE1
..

The lack of a tie to c1 in GE1 is undoubtedly an error resulting presumably from an inaccuracy in FC which has this tie only in b. 426 (on a new staff). The tie was added in GE2 (→GE3). See also b. 424-425.

b. 524-525

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

The mark crossed out in A on the 2nd beat of bar 524 is most probably a crotchet rest. It means that initially the L.H. part was the same as in b. 516 (except for the enharmonic difference in the notation).
We were not able to determine what the crossing-out in a similar place in b. 525 concerned. In turn, it seems that the dots extending the b-b1 crotchet and the quaver flag of the first g-e1 sixth could have been added later, which is indicated by the spaces between the notes.

b. 656-657

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

d2 tied in A (→FC→GE)

d2 repeated in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie of d2 is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE).

b. 662-663

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

c2 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

c2 tied in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The tie of c2, probably overlooked in A (→FC→GE1) in b. 211-212 (the discussed bars are a repetition thereof), was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE) as well as – probably by analogy with b. 79-80 – in GE2 (→GE3).
