 I agree with the idea of a context property, but it would switch
between the current default (alignment by Staff always) and a new
default which respects Gould's recommendations, which apply to more
than rests.  An alignment by voice would also be used if the dotted
quarter rest in Kieren's image were replaced by a dotted note or
notes.  Additionally, by Gould's recommendation, the dots should align
in cases where the voices have single notes (as in my counterexample
above).
