        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!

Alan
