Thanks, I did not know about \starteffect.
But this make *bigger* periods for the ellipsis, and when I try
smaller values for /rulethickness/, it does not go below the size of
the normal period (perhaps the limit is even a little bit larger than
the normal period size, something like 0.3pt), no matter how small a
value I use.
Higher values scale correctly.
Stéphane.
