Comment #70 on issue 3179 by [email protected]: too many dots on chord

Trevor wrote in comment #68:
I would prefer to see the top dot removed on the 5-note chord, but a
lower dot added to the 7- and 9-note chords. I think that would make
the patterns more consistent with the earlier ones in which no dots are
removed. But that's only my opinion - I have no real-life examples;
and Gould does not go into this much detail.
I agree. Gould isn't specific enough, and we need to make up our own
rules, and i'd go with the visual look in a way that you suggest.
@Phil (comment #69): i think that adding dots above may be preferred
because the default direction of a dot is upward, see { g'4. d''4. }
By the way, i'm having an impression that our test suites don't cover all
cases... Notice that, for example, cluster of 5 notes has *4* possible
configurations relative to stafflines and the side on which most heads
dwell:
\transpose c c' {
<c d e f g>4. r8
<d e f g a>4. r8
<g a b c' d'>4. r8
<a b c' d' e'>4. r8
}
