According to Gould, I believe that dots limit 3 is the correct setting.

Case 1: Gould says that the dot in the A space is correct.  The only dots
she removes are dots that are 2 staff spaces or more away from the chord
(p. 56); the A space is only one staff space away.

Case 2: Similarly, the B space dot is correct according to Gould.

Case 9: Just as in case 2, the B space dot is correct.

Case 10: The C space dot is correct according to Gould -- one staff space
above chord.

Case 12: See cases 2 and 9; B space dot is one staff space below chord

Case 13: I am unsure about the G dot -- it's one and a half staff spaces
below the chord, so by Gould's strict rule, it should be there, I guess.
But I prefer it gone.

Case 14: I'm not sure why you consider the A space dot unnecessary.
According to Gould's rules, it should be there.

Case 15: Same as case 14.

Case 16: As in cases 2 and 9, Gould suggests the B space dot belongs.

Case 17: Same as 16

Case 18: Same as 16

Case 19: Same as 16

Case 20: Gould's rules say A space dot is correct.

Case 21: Same as 20

Case 23: Same as 16

Case 24: Gould's rules say G space dot is correct.

Case 25: Gould's rules say B space dot is correct.

In short, dots limit 3 never fails according to Chris's rules, and appears
to me to be exactly correct with respect to Gould's rules.  So I have a
hard time seeing what the issue is.

Thanks,
