Thanks Noel and Christopher.
There is nothing in the measure in question to suggest that this
below the line placement is correct, and it looks dumb to my eye. It
may be an artifact of the part having come from exploding a staff in
which all the notes in the chord had been entered, and the below
center line placement had been correct in that staff and incorrectly
retained in the new one. I'll try "clear dot alterations." to see if
that gets rid of it, or I'll move it by hand. Just wanted to make
sure I wasn't missing some arcane notation convention.
Thanks again, guys.

Can anyone tell me what it is that I don't know about this?TIA,
OK. I had a hunch what the explanation was, but I tried the
following to test it anyway. Opened document without libraries,
and entered a quarter note on the middle line of the staff and
dotted it. Stem is down, augmentation dot is above the line;
augmentation dot stays above the line when stem is flipped.
Inserted a half note rest before note (so that the dotted quarter
note now begins on beat 3), switched to layer 1, and entered a
quarter rest. As soon as I exited the frame, the dot assigned to
the note in layer 2 moved below the line. This suggests that the
behavior is an artifact of the behavior when stems are locked in a
certain direction based upon whether or not there are notes in
another layer, or not.
