(see comment #37)

Usually the reader cannot tell if the dot-removal was done "per voice" or  
considering all voices together ... unless, for example, the middle C above  
had a double dot.

The quote from the textbook says "where a dot would need to be two (2) or  
more
staff spaces away from the chord".   If Gould uses LilyPond's definition of  
staff-space distance between lines, then the topmost dot is just 1.5  
staff-spaces above the H, and the lowest dot is 1.5 staff-spaces below the  
C.

Maybe Gould means staff-steps when she says staff-spaces, in which case the  
dot for the C is too far away from the noted.  Considering the case where  
the C has a double-dot, we would need to first teach LilyPond to keep the  
dots on short chords more tightly, before having her remove excess dots.

I, too, have been unable to find any examples from the literature that  
benefit from the removal of dots by original patch.
