I have the Henle Urtext edition of that Nocturne, which should reproduce Chopin's notation: as far as I can see it is the same as in that example. We're discussing dotted notes that share noteheads: you can see some in measures 33 - 35. Another nice example is given the Nocturne in F# minor,

Ah yes, I'd forgotten how rude and condescending you can be. Why can't you just state your point of view without insulting people? Pertaining to how sure I am, I won't go into all the details of how many Chopin facsimiles I've seen or what I know about Henle Urtext editions: I'll just say that

Thank you so much. I am in the New York City area, do you have any leads for that? A conductor here in NYC wants the music for a concert in March (a rather tight deadline). But I could enter the music rather quickly and generate parts) IF I have a score. Thanks again for all your hard work! Kim

No problem, Kim. The most commonly held score is the extracts published in 1965 by Editions Costallat. In New York, this edition is held by Columbia, Cornell, Eastman School of Music, Queens College, SUNY Buffalo, and Vassar. Note that it is cataloged under de Lalande instead of Delalande. Hope
