Staccato dot in AF (→FEEE)

We do not include the staccato dot in the main text, featured in AF (→FEEE), since the principal source (GE) contains two other indications instead, i.e.  and an accent – see the adjacent note. However, it does not have to mean that Chopin in fact considered these indications separately, since we cannot rule out an oversight in [AG] or GE. Due to this reason, according to us, the dot can be regarded as complementing the indications of GE.
