OK. On reflection, perhaps I can see your reasoning, although I disagree
that the current situation reliably produces the notation one would expect.
And it's insufficiently controllable.

In any case, I might argue "chord-dots-limit" isn't unambiguously explained

". Limits the column of dots on each chord to the height of the chord plus
chord-dots-limit staff-positions."

In situation 1 in my test cases, the height of the chord is 4
staff-positions... or is it 2 and a half staff-spaces?

Should I want in example 2, to have dots on the D, F, A spaces and not on
B, then chord-dots-limit=1 might be interpreted to suppress the dot that's
2 staff positions away from the chord (on B space) and place one 1 staff
position _above_ the chord, on A.  The dotsUp and dotsDown settings don't
appear to have any effect here.
