Does the font designer need a means of specifying where augmentation
dots are to be placed horizontally relative to the notehead/rest or is
that up to the typesetting software/user settings?  In the case of
short rests (sub-8th), there are also different ways of placing the
dots vertically.  Short dotted rests are not common, but there is
disagreement among music typesetting software.  E.g. on a 32nd rest,
Finale and Sibelius put the dot beside the middle hook, but Score and
Lilypond put it beside the upper hook.

Also, will the typesetting software/user be responsible for choosing
the default horizontal distance of accidentals to noteheads or should
the font designer get the chance to do that?
