That certainly is strange. I wonder why it drops to four dots instead of
5, given that there are 5 notes in the cluster. And the G space dot would

I'm looking into the code now. I'll see if I can figure out what's going
on.
Thanks,

There appears to be a bias towards placing dots beneath the chord in certain conditions.
Apparently there's an example in Gould of chords spanning a ninth, such as:
A)
\new Staff {
\relative c' { <a' b c d e f g a b>2. }
}
and
B)
\new Staff {
\relative c' { <g' a b c d e f g a>2. }
}
for A, dots limit 0 or 1 gives a sensible result with five dots, as does 4 or 5 with seven -- depending on your preference.
for B, we need dots limit 3 to get six evenly spaced dots. Any higher than 4 and theres unnecessary dots.
Hopefully you'll find something :)
