Since the warning message is "ignoring too many clashing note columns",
it would be nice if the 'too many clashing dots' were also ignored.  This
would be in keeping with Lily's general aim of making as much sense of
the input as possible.  But note other notational elements are also doubled
in the printed output under these circumstances - dynamics and slurs, for
example.
