Section 1.285 "staccato" of the 2.19.15 LilyPond Music Glossary says: Staccato
is indicated by a dot above or below the note head. Gardner Read ("Music
Notation: A Manual of Modern Practice") agrees with this and has a little
picture showing a stem-up note with a dot just beneath the note-head and a
stem-down note with a dot just above the note-head.
Ordinarily, LP follows both Read's and its own guideline on the placement of
the dot, e.g., the following snippet:
\version "2.19.15"
\relative c'' { g8-. a-. b-. c-. d-. e-. f-. g-. a-. b-. c-.}
yields:

However, the following snippet:
\version "2.19.15"
music = \relative c'' {
<< {\voiceOne g8-. a-. b-. c-. d-. e-. f-. g-. a4-. b-. c-.
b-.}
\new Voice { \voiceTwo g,2~ g2~ g2~ g2}
>> \oneVoice
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff << \new Staff \music >>
layout { }
}
yields:

Besides being pretty ugly, this violates LP's own guidelines.
Is there a way to get the second snippet to produce regular staccato dots?
