If the dot placement is the problem, what about this: Change
moveDottedNoteA to:
%%%
moveDottedNoteA = \once {
\override NoteColumn.force-hshift = -1.5
\override Dots.extra-offset = #'(-0.3 . 0.2)
}
%%%
I've attached what that looks like. I have found one reference that places
the dots the first way I modified them and a second that places them this
second way. I haven't found any references that do it the standard
LilyPond way, but I've only looked at two. The piece is J.S. Bach's
Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II, Fugue 18 measures 17 and 18 (and other
measures) if anyone wants to look it up.
To be clear, I'm open to whatever the consensus is, and Werner, your
opinion is one I regard highly.
