Dear list,

1) Can someone please clarify to me how to increase the distance between a
notehead and its augmentation dot in general? I'm trying to use
extra-spacing-width property, and while setting the cdr of the pair induces
the expected space between the dot and the next notehead, setting the car
to similarly extreme values seems to have no effect. See snippet below.

2) Augmentation dots inside ligatures seem to be totally insulated from dot
engraver overrides, even when placing the override inside the ligature
bracket in question. Is there a solution to this?

As a small aside, I'm wondering: in mensural notation inside Lilypond, is
there already a built in tool for distinguishing augmentation dots from
so-called 'dots of division'? From the documentation, it appeared not,
hence my attempts to override the dot position, but if there is an easier
way please let me know. In general I've been extremely impressed with the
output of the mensural syntax; thank you to developers responsible for
these features.

\version "2.23.1"
  \new MensuralVoice {
  \override NoteHead.style = #'blackpetrucci
  \override Dots.extra-spacing-width = #'(10 . 10 )%%% placing this
override inside the ligature has no effect
    \[ a'1 b'1. \] b'2 b'1. b'1
      }
