Regarding comment #18: Thanks a lot!  This helps, and I will fix the  
problems soon.

Regarding comment #19: My code doesn't affect dotted rests at all (there  
are still small bugs in my code which actually make the dots of some rests  
disappear, but this will go away in the next patch set).  I'm talking about  
the case where a user arbitrarily changes `staff-position' for dots of note  
heads (using e.g. \tweak) to get some weird optical effects.

I fear that what you say in the last paragraph doesn't work.  Following  
your advice, I had to compare the default value of `staff-position' with  
the actual value to `look for dots outside of the requested dot  
positions'.  And exactly this is the problem: There is *no* way to get the  
default!  I *could* assume that the default is the value zero (this is what  
dots::calc-staff-position returns for note heads), but this would  
essentially mean hard-coding something in the binary which is defined in  
the Scheme code.  Not a good idea, I believe.

Am I missing something?
