    Issue 3471: Allow decimal fractions with non-empty parts before and  
after '.

    This permits writing things like

    mkMove = #(define-music-function
            (parser location x y)
            ( number? number? )
            #{ \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #(cons x y)
            #})

    {
        \mkMove 4.4 -3.3
        c1^"XY"
    }

    Since integers are accepted in this kind of usage, not accepting
    floating point numbers appears inconsistent.

    While in INITIAL mode like inside of layout blocks real numbers can
    be written like 4. or -.3 for historic reasons, permitting this inside
    of music could easily lead to confusion with durations or
    articulations, so those spellings remain invalid in music modes.

    Decimal fractions are also not accepted in \chordmode since this would
    preclude chord entry like c:13.11^3.7 and similar.
