Thanks -- but that example is about balancing the dots around a chord,
which I believe we're not disagreed about.  (This scanned example is
related her statement about not placing the dots in one direction).

And yet:
\relative c' { <a' b c d e>2. }
does not produce the output she suggests for this chord. I need
chord-dots-limit = 4 for that.
