Incorrect positioning of augmentation dots in small chord in multivoice context
1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
2. Click on a note of Voice 1 in bar 2.
3. 'View'>'Inspector'.
4. Tick 'Small' in the 'Chord' section.
Expected result:
Actual result: The augmentation dots are too far away from the chord.

Comments
I'm not totally sure if this is a bug.
Page 57 of 'Behind Bars' would suggest so.
Opinions?
We need a complete test for dots and small notes/chords/staff with a decision. If you want to gather opinions, please use the forum.
FWIW, this issue seems only to affect chords in a multivoice context, and even then only if there is a note/chord that starts at the same time position in another voice. If there is no other voice, or if the other voice contains a rest starting at that time position, or if there is no new chord/rest starting at that time position in the other voice, then the dots display normally. Also, it only seems to kick in if the *chord* (as opposed to individual notes) is set to small.
So I don't think there is any question it's a bug, but indeed, a relatively minor one.
Minor or not, this got fixed more or less for free in 65899b5b94 as part of the fix for #22473: Adjacent breve and longa noteheads incorrectly positioned in chord.

Should the dots be closer?
I think about -0.15sp looks better?

You can set the note-dot distance however you like. I think it probably *should* scale with chord size - some other similar settings do - but currently, it doesn't. I'm re-opening to take another look, but realistically, the current default is not bad - I think you adjusted it *too* far :-). But I think properly scaled it should be somewhere between the two, which will be even better.
Definitely more minor than before though.
As is often the case, I found a number of other related issues while fixing this. They are all covered by the following PR:

The following vtests use very large values for dot & accidental distance and very small values for small chord/note/staff size to make the effect more apparent:
