Comment #5 on issue 1792 by address@hidden: dot-notehead collision
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1792
With the fix above for this issue, the behavior matches the documentation.
"prefer-dotted-right (boolean) : For note collisions, prefer to shift
dotted up-note to the right, rather than shifting just the dot."
The second beat of the example had no collisions, so the code follows the
usual rule keep simultaneous note-heads vertically aligned. This makes
sense to me, because voice-crossings are rare, and rhythms tend to repeat,
so this way keeps the note-head positioning in its usual pattern whenever
possible.
Changing both code and docs to further favor dots on the right, as Neil
suggests, could be done (but I don't want to because I like
prefer-dotted-right=#f sometimes).
