Two dots on three notes

Quote
|Chord|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:-2o,0o|Opts:Stem=Down|Dur2:Half,Dotted|Pos2:1o|Color:0|Visibility:Default

One dot overlaps with other dot on pos 1.
I think the overlapped dot should be on pos 3.

The dots' places may be wrong (or not). Do we have a solution except Allow Layering?

But anything that contains a chord like this is likely to need layering somewhere.

Further research. Adding a dotted E below the problem chord actually adds two dots!

A bug, I'd say. IMO, the first chord should have 3 dots. Maybe someday it will ...

Gould, the music typesetting guru, says that the lowest dots should be moved down to accommodate the top dot in its correct position.

It does for some cases:

And even more experimenting with the original problem chord reveals that if you remove the middle note ([ctrl]+[backspace] on the same line as it) makes the lower note's dot jump down to the lower space.  Re-entering the note without specifying stem direction and letting it default to stem down leaves the extra dot in its correct position.

Edit:  I just noticed that this then places the top note after the lower two, reversing the stem side.  :\
