Subject: Polyphony, ledger lines, and dotted notes
See below - the dots are differently
placed depending on whether the
notes are in one voice or two:
\version "2.15.16"
\relative c' {
<d a d,>4.
<< { d } \\ { <a d,> } >>
}
According to Elaine Gould, they should be. She says that
downstem voices should have the dot in the space below the
notehead, so this would make the lowest dot of the chord too
high. I think it's probably a matter of taste which is better,
but a 2 voice chord will definitely be dotted differently from a
one voice chord.
Yes, the dots on the lower voice should be both down, not one up
and one down.

Is it possible this is related to Issue 1352:
Polyphonic dots placement is inconsistent,
confusing and prone to collisions ?
