Comment #7 on issue 2468 by address@hidden: augmentation dot of a  
moved rest is placed on a line

An hour of work on Dots has led me to the conclusion that Dots are a mess.

In general in LilyPond coding, X and Y calculations should never be  
inter-dependent and any Y calculations called before line breaking that  
could possibly touch beams should be pure.  Dots violate both, likely  
because a lot of the code is old and a lot of the fancy Y-spacing stuff was  
added after dots were written.  I think the only way to sort this out is to  
revamp Dots' vertical shifting mechanism.  What sucks is that I have 0 time  
over the next month-ish, so if someone else could look into this, I'd  
appreciate it!
