Good idea, thanks, but this completely prevents alignment of dots.

No no, dots in a chord, within one voice, are still aligned.

Remember that dots are not supposed to be aligned between separate voices[1].  
LilyPond is wrong to align dots from different voices, but doing so helps her 
handle the cases where note-heads collide between opposite-stemmed voices.

If you are still working on the Bach Partita, then to my eyes Dot_columns for 
each voice gives a *much* better result.  Dots move to avoid collisions, with 
stems, but need some help to avoid flags.
