More progress (sorry for the train of thought... I hope I'm not wasting
anyone's time)... they get doubled when one is dotted, and they're joined
when one is not. That totally makes sense, and the composer was being
creative with blank space and stem alignment to make rhythm clear. I can
add in some key "s8"s here and there. But then, when both notes have the
same duration how can I make them doubled? :)
