Dot position

I think the dot position in this snippet is horrible:
Code: [Select · Download]
|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 :)
I plays 'Bones, crumpets, coronets, floosgals, youfonymums 'n tubies.

Easy answer: simply put the dotted notes at the right (as in the original printed score) and the undotted at the left.

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.
