Comment #10 on issue 1266 by k-ohara5...@oco.net: Dots in chords can not be moved
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1266
The books (Ross and Stone) talk only about raising/lowering dots after note-heads. I have not yet found a printed example of the situation. (r4. is often written r4 r8)
The main reason to raise/lower dots on notes, to make clear which voice gets the dot, does not apply to rests because they are placed vertically far enough from the other voice. Also, most rests are unsymmetric top-to-bottom so moving the dot looks strange.
I suggest making rests ignore Dot direction. This avoids a change that might bother some users; there is not currently any way to set options to have dots on rests be placed differently than those on notes.
