Hi all,

I am working on a score from Boosey and Hawkes and noticed that dotted notes are different engraved compared with default Lilypond output. They use \dotsDown when there is something (slur, tie, fermata) above the dotted note. See the enclosed snippet and figure: default is Lilypond and expected is Boosey and Hawkes.

Should Lilypond do that too?

Greetings, Ed
