Attached a 7-measure example in .ly format to show what I mean ;-)
In the case of multi-voice polyphony on a stave dotted notes get all 
their dots precisely below each other on a single line. In most cases 
this looks best, but sometimes it makes a dot 'float' and almost cause a 
collision with the beam of the next note.
In the documentation I found something to solve it, but frankly, I don't 
get how it should be solved
This is the link to the documentation I try to understand:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/DotColumn.html#DotColumn

I am using 2.6.3 at this moment on windows, but also on linux. Haven't tried if the output is the same on linux, but I expect nothing else.
The case of the floating dot is seen in measures 1 and 4

There's also a smaller problem with the 8th rest in measure 2 and 6, those should go down as they will be hardly readable on their current spot. I want those rests on the same heigth as the notehead for the 'c' (between the 3rd and 4th line)
Anyone with suggestions how I can solve it?

Thanks,
Michiel
