It's more clear in this Beethoven string quartet:
http://erato.uvt.nl/files/imglnks/usimg/2/28/IMSLP04769-Beethoven_-_String_Quartet_No.15_Dover.pdf e.g.
page 17, second system, fourth bar violin 2 and 'cello; fifth bar viola.
I did find this thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-05/msg00122.html from
seven years ago through the search but it didn't seem to come to any
solid conclusion, so I was wondering if things were different now?
I am not concerned about MIDI output etc., so I would be happy to use
an invisible rest and insert the dot as an "independent" object if
possible? In a broader sense, that means being able to insert an
arbitrary object. Any help/pointing me to the right part of
documentation would be greatly appreciated.
You could put a dotted note there and make everything except the dot
invisible:
\once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Flag #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Accidental #'transparent = ##t
\once \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t
