Why do you say "ugly"? I think that this is a very handsome,
and comprehensible solution, and I thank you for it.
I thank all the contributors to this thread. I have learned
a lot. I shall experiment with the various solutions given
for detaching the dot. Since it is a notation used, it seems,
by one of the Masters of Music, perhaps some thought could be
given eventually to implementing a solution in some future
Lilypond version.
Finally, to Thomas Morley: I ain't no quavery witch, I am
a Crotchety Wizard(moving rapidly from Shakespeare to L
Frank Baum)
Best wishes to all!
