Re: dots astray

[Mats Bengtsson]

To those who know this better; the results are the same with 2.2.5 and
2.3.22. What confuses me most is that it doesn't help to add a
\voiceFour in the lower voice or a \voiceThree in the upper part,
the single upper note will still get the same horizontal position as
the chord.
