Re: Bug with staccato dots?

[Till Rettig]

This is really dificult! It appears on the first and second line or between the first and third. But it doesn't get triggered all the time! It is as if in certain situations there is inserted some extra spacing for the dots, but it is obviously counted from the position of the beam. I thought it was to do with the entrance of the beam into the lines, but this is not always the case.
Here are some more examples:

\relative c {\clef bass
\voiceOne f,8-. g-. a-. b-. g-. a-. b-. c-. a-. b-. c-. d-. b-. c-. d-. e-. c-. d-. e-. f-. d-. e-. f-. g-. \clef treble \relative c' {  a'8-. b-. c-. d-. e-. d-. c-. b-.  a-.  a-. b-. c-. b-. a-. a-. b-.  g-. f-. e-. d-.  g-. a-. b-. c-.  f,-. g-. a-. b-. e,-. f-. g-. a-. d,-. e-. f-. g-. e-. g-. b-. d-. f,-. a-. c-. e-. e,-. g-. g-. d-. f-. a-. a-. f-.} }

I don't really know where this comes from.

Hello,

I realized that there seems to be some strangeness with staccato dots
positioning: in my opion they are too close to beams when setting
polyphonic music with \voiceOne and \voiceTwo.
    

I I understand you correctly, this more a matter of personal feeling
than engraving correctness, isn't it?

  

Also I saw that the spacing gets influenced by accidentals (?). This
matters only when the dots are above the system, otherwise they get
centered in between the lines.
    

when I replace your "bes" with a "b" without any accidental, I get the
same result. So it doesn't seem to be about accidentals. However,
there seems to be, indeed, one dot higher than the other, for some
weird reason.

Can you investigate it a bit more, so we can fill a more useful bur
report together?

Cheers,
Valentin
