Actually you don't even need to grep the code to discover this.
"\dotsDown" in the Notation Reference index links to the "Durations"
page and is introduced as a predefined command at the end of the
section discussing dotted note lengths.
Likewise in section 1.3.1 Expressive marks attached to notes:
The rules for the default placement of articulations are defined in
‘scm/script.scm’. Articulations and ornamentations may be manually
placed above or below the staff; see Direction and placement.
Articulations are Script objects. Their properties are described
more fully in Script.
Cynthia, perhaps you could suggest a way to make this easier to find?
