Re: Dot collides with 2nd below

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, I recommend you to upgrade to the latest stable version,
just run the setup.exe and it will automatically upgrade the packages
where newer versions are available. Then, read in the manual on how
to use convert-ly to update your input files to the syntax changes.

Unfortunately, the bug you describe has survived even to the latest
development version, so I send a copy to the bug-lilypond mailing
list as well.

One workaround, is to manually move the dotted note to the right
using
{\once \property Voice.NoteColumn \override #'force-hshift = #1.5
   f4. f8}
(I hope \once was introduced in version 1.8).
