I wonder if anyone here (or elsewhere) has tried to engrave some of these, even as musical fragments?  I'm sure it would be an eye-opening process. :)

    Here's Schumann's quadruple-dotted passage (arguably one of the
    easiest ones there):

    When engraved with 2.18.2, it had a problem with the third and
    fourth measures, compacting the horizontal space of very last notes
    between staves so they ended up lining up when they are not to be
    played at the same musical moment. Any of the latest unstable
    versions worked without a hitch. Only a few manual direction
    overrides were necessary on a few beams/slurs to recreate the
    original. I couldn't resist using the Haydn stylesheet :-)
    
    The triple-sharp snippet should be possible by extending the
    note-names to include them (by default, the lists only extends to
    double-flats/sharps).
    
    The floating clef snippet can be created by following the
    instructions in this snippet in the LSR: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=326
    
    The hidden triplet markings is a piece of cake by using \omit TupletNumber right before
    the desired starting point.
