Re: \hideNotes removes dot from 4.

[Michael Gerdau]

Thank you David and Aaron!

Based on your responses I've created this example:
%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

\paper { indent = 0 }
butNotDots = \revert Dots.transparent

musica = \relative c''{ f4 g << { \hideNotes a4.( \unHideNotes g8) } \\ { a4.( 
g8) } >> }
musicb = \relative c''{ f4 g << { a4.( g8) } \\ { a4.( g8) } >> }
musicc = \relative c''{ f4 g << { \stemDown a4.( \stemUp g8) } \\ { \hideNotes 
a4.( \unHideNotes g8) } >> }
musicd = \relative c''{ f4 g << { \hideNotes \butNotDots a4.( \unHideNotes g8) 
} \\ { a4.( g8) } >> }

\markup "a) initial code; hiding voiceOne"
\score {
  \musica
}
\markup "b) no hiding voices"
\score {
  \musicb
}
\markup "c) hiding voiceTwo and adjusting stems of voiceOne"
\score {
  \musicc
}
\markup "d) hiding voiceTwo and keeping Dots"
\score {
  \musicd
}
%%%%

Both c) and d) seem to do what I want. Besides personal taste:
Is there a reason to prefer one over the other?
My gut feeling opts for d) as that provides proper stem direction when the 
music is transposed.

Kind regards,
Michael
