I sidestepped this problem (and simplified my code!) by removing all the
shifts and the troublesome a natural altogether. I then added a new
voice in which I wrote {s16 a!4..*6/7^-^\f} - this placed the new note
close to the right of the chord, which also had its dots as it should.
Is it a cheat? Or just a pragmatic and effective answer? I know how I
view it for now!
