Why do you say "ugly"? I think that this is a very handsome, and comprehensible solution, and I thank you for it. I thank all the contributors to this thread. I have learned a lot. I shall experiment with the various solutions given for detaching the dot. Since it is a notation used, it seems, by one of the Masters of Music, perhaps some thought could be given eventually to implementing a solution in some future Lilypond version. Finally, to Thomas Morley: I ain't no quavery witch, I am a Crotchety Wizard(moving rapidly from Shakespeare to L Frank Baum) Best wishes to all!
