Nicolas' code over there was for v2.17.24.

He made an update for 2.19.33:
https://github.com/nsceaux/nenuvar/commit/c6b65d7ae3d2e7e2b41f9ef3637ec32085c27d0f

Though, meanwhile some internals changed again.
Attached you'll find my own update to v2.19.42.
Due to discussion at
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/crash-moving-DotColumn-td190493.html

Indepent from the topic here I've found a problem where the DotColumn
is moved too far.

Thus cc-ing him
