Gould specifically shows good examples with dots both above and below a note on a space. She also shows an error where a dot one staff space above the chord is removed (I'll try to get scans today). The only trimming Gould does (which LilyPond may not do, I guess) is that if the full set of dots would result in a dot that is two or more staff spaces away from the upper or lower note of the chord, the dots are trimmed to cover the staff spaces taken up by the chord.
