With Neil's suggestion (which is implemented in the last patch) it's
no problem at all to apply it only to staccato notes by default - just
add the line
(shifted-towards-stem . 0.5)
in scm/script.scm anywhere in the block belonging to "staccato". This
places dots in the middle between note head and stem (for different
positions, replace the value 0.5 with whatever you like best). Only so
far I don't know how to change this value interactively in the .ly
file, but I'm sure someone can tell us.

Yes, I'll do so when the way to solve this bug/problem is settled
(perhaps there are some other hidden pitfalls in the last patch).

The same to you! From what I gather you're among the most active ones
on this list and the German community owes you a lot for all your
translation (and other) efforts!
