A sample of the problem is with "g2d zc zd" where the dot from the c
interferes with d . I don't think this is a new problem (but correct me if
I'm wrong). I'd call it a bug if I hadn't moved the dot with its own
notehead, but it looks like I did. I've had some private correspondence
with Bernhard about this too. I think it would be really hard to come up
with a general set of rules for dot shifting to avoid this sort of problem.
If anyone can come up with one--an algorithm that specifies how much to
shift all dots, horizontally and vertically, and covers all possible
cases--I'll try to implement it. Meanwhile, there's a facility in PMX to
manually shift the dots. BTW, I think I read somewhere that the dots should
always form a single column, but I'm not sure I like that approach.
