I think the dot position in this snippet is horrible:
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:-3o|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:Half,Dotted|Pos2:-3o,1o|Color:0|Visibility:Default
Of course, using layering...
G'day Flurmy,
even with layering where would you put the dot..? That's not a nice one at all :)
Easy answer: simply put the dotted notes at the right (as in the original printed score) and the undotted at the left.
This:
Looks even worse, which is why we have layering.
The bigger problems are the bad dot postions that cannot be fixed by layering. At a minimum, we need to be able to hide ties. The option of specifing dot defaults at the staff level would work for me, but I doubt that it would satisfy other folks.
