Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Write a note on the second space of a staff (treble clef - A)
  2. Add "divide measured tremolo by 6"
  3. Dots are placed directly on notehead

The placement of these tremolo divisions are inconsistent based on note vertical placement, it would be ideal if they had more consistent placement as most articulations do
