A couple of comments. 1) Just because you can find examples of bad
practice in old scores doesn't make it good practice. We could also
institute a rule that dots should be omitted when it's easier to do than
include them. I can point you to lots of examples of commercial scores
where this happens. 2) This change would break Elaine Gould's rule: page
439 "The line of text should be parallel to the stave for the length of the
system, and not be placed on different levels to accommodate notes below
the stave." Stone and Gardner-Read do not mention this, but do not use
different lines in their examples.
