This was one of my pet peeves with Finale--having to endlessly adjust
dashed lines so they weren't ended by a dot (usually discovered on the
printout...)

I can't see any reason why LilyPond couldn't be enhanced to ensure that
this doesn't happen.

In fact, there's a markup command \draw-dashed-line which guards against
these clipped edges.
