Hi all,
I've noticed that under certain circumstances (I think if the page spacing needs to be compressed?) Lilypond will disregard the vertical order of TextScripts. So something like:
\relative c'' {
f4^"long long long"^"short" e'2.
}
By itself, this correctly displays the short indication above the long one. But sometimes Lilypond, in order to save space, will move the short indication below the long one. This is understandable, but it can lead to incorrect notation if the order matters. For example, indications of who is playing (e.g. solo or tutti) are generally supposed to go above indications of playing style or technique.
Is there a way to force Lilypond to respect the specified vertical order of TextScripts? Ideally, not as a one time override or tweak but throughout an entire score.
Thanks!
