There appears to be a bias towards placing dots beneath the chord in
certain conditions.

Apparently there's an example in Gould of chords spanning a ninth, such as:

A)
\new Staff {
 \relative c' { <a' b c d e f g a b>2. }
}
and
B)
\new Staff {
  \relative c' { <g' a b c d e f g a>2. }
}

for A, dots limit 0 or 1 gives a sensible result with five dots, as does 4
or 5 with seven -- depending on your preference.

for B,  we need dots limit 3 to get six evenly spaced dots. Any higher than
4 and theres unnecessary dots.

Hopefully you'll find something :)
