GE and EE added a  before b2. However, the Chopinesque  before b1 is a cautionary accidental; in this context, repeating it next to the 2nd demisemiquaver (placed an octave higher) of this group does not seem necessary.

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

..

In the 1st group of demisemiquavers in this bar, one can see in A a crossed-out accidental – most probably a  – before the 3rd demisemiquaver. Formally, the accidental is not necessary here; it is absent both in FC and FE (→EE1). However, the presence of the f pedal note as well as f2 at the end of the previous bar justify its addition in the form of a cautionary accidental, which was performed in GE and EE2.

In A (→FC,FE) there is no  lowering e to e in the last L.H. figure. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.
