Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Create a score with 3/4 time
  2. Create a quarter-note chord with F and G, observe they appear stacked on top of each other
  3. Using voice 2, enter a dotted half-note G. Observe it disappears behind the other chord.

The dotted half-note should appear to the side of the note. The same issue does not appear when the second note isn't dotted.
