Carl, the key is the last bit of Gould's text as quoted by Brian above: "When a dot is forced to be two or more stave-spaces from the chord, its function becomes less relevant. In such cases,* use only as many dots as cover the number of stave-spaces taken up by the chord*." In my 30-odd years experience of reading music I don't think I've ever seen augmentation dots extending even a full space away from a chord (apart from moving a half-step above or below a line-note).

According to Gould, I believe that dots limit 3 is the correct setting. Case 1: Gould says that the dot in the A space is correct. The only dots she removes are dots that are 2 staff spaces or more away from the chord (p. 56); the A space is only one staff space away. Case 2: Similarly, the B space dot is correct according to Gould. Case 9: Just as in case 2, the B space dot is correct. Case 10: The C space dot is correct according to Gould -- one staff space above chord. Case 12: See cases 2 and 9; B space dot is one staff space below chord Case 13: I am unsure about the G dot -- it's one and a half staff spaces below the chord, so by Gould's strict rule, it should be there, I guess. But I prefer it gone. Case 14: I'm not sure why you consider the A space dot unnecessary. According to Gould's rules, it should be there. Case 15: Same as case 14. Case 16: As in cases 2 and 9, Gould suggests the B space dot belongs. Case 17: Same as 16 Case 18: Same as 16 Case 19: Same as 16 Case 20: Gould's rules say A space dot is correct. Case 21: Same as 20 Case 23: Same as 16 Case 24: Gould's rules say G space dot is correct. Case 25: Gould's rules say B space dot is correct. In short, dots limit 3 never fails according to Chris's rules, and appears to me to be exactly correct with respect to Gould's rules. So I have a hard time seeing what the issue is. Thanks, Carl
