The attached lilypond file has a dotted half note tied to a half
note. This is probably non-standard notation by modern standards, but
it's what John Dowland did, so I transcribed it that way.
Unfortunately, the way lily typeset it, everybody at the rehearsal
missed the dot at least once, because it's too close to the tie.
Is this a bug, or is there a good way to move the dot or the tie?

hye thee quick- ly from thy wrong, so shee endes hir will- ing song.
