Subject: Polyphony, ledger lines, and dotted notes
See below - the dots are differently placed depending on whether the
notes are in one voice or two:
\version "2.15.16"
\relative c' {
<d a d,>4.
<< { d } \\ { <a d,> } >>
}
According to Elaine Gould, they should be. She says that downstem
voices should have the dot in the space below the notehead, so this
would make the lowest dot of the chord too high. I think it's
probably a matter of taste which is better, but a 2 voice chord will
definitely be dotted differently from a one voice chord.
