Comment #66 on issue 3179 by address@hidden: too many dots on chord
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3179

Probably the correct interpretation of Gould (and probably what James had  
in mind) is:
"If all the dots fit with just a little overhang, fine; but if some would  
overhang more than two staff-spaces, nobody will be counting them all so  
just print those that fit beside the chord."

Under this interpretation, the number of dots decreases at one point in the  
growing-chord example.  A user can reduce the overhang limit so the  
behavior switches a bit earlier and puts just 4 dots on the 5-note cluster.

I thought it best to implement the limit in terms of height of the dot  
column, rather than distance from dot to note-head, so that the behavior  
doesn't switch as a chord walks up the scale and its top note alternates  
between on-line and in-space.  We need examples of real music that uses  
these chords.
