Hi Simon,

I’ve been wanting to rewrite a piece using alternative dotted notes
worth 5/4 the undotted notation. These cross-shaped “dots” however
shouldn’t be offset vertically from their noteheads, unlike normal
augmentation dots.
So I’d like to set the staff-position of the Dots grob to be just
equal to that of its NoteHead, but my Lily extending skills are very
rusty and I’m having trouble retrieving that NoteHead and its
properties. The following ly:grob-object use doesn’t seem to work…
Try the Dots grob's Y-parent, i.e. (ly:grob-parent grob Y).
But I think what you want to do could/should be made more convenient
using an engraver. I have a little time on the train right now and will
try to cook something up, stay tuned...
