Re: dotted note in duration-log?

[Omer Katzir]

Midi is not an issue for me and I only need it for one bar. that d in the 
beginning should be dotted without changing the rest of the piece. Now, the 
stem is in the right direction as I need it, I only need a dot next to the 
note, that’s why I’m using \once if it helps, this section of the piece is 3/8.
