in bar 475 in A & GE

2  signs in FC

No signs in FE (→EE)
..

The additional  mark at the end of b. 473 was written by Fontana, hence it is a mistake. This is how it was considered already in GE. Omission of the correct mark (in b. 475) in FE (→EE) is also a mistake.

b. 476

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Accent in A

No mark in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

It is difficult to indicate the reason for the omission of the accent both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). Chopin could have added it in A already after he completed FC, whereas the engraver of FE could have simply overlooked it.
