A.20 Default values for script-priority

The following table shows the default script-priority of all script-related grobs (starting with an uppercase letter) and script names (starting with a lowercase letter). Objects with smaller values are placed closer to the staff.

The Fingering, StringNumber, and StrokeFinger grobs, if part of a chord, add the vertical position of the associated note head to get the final priority value. The script-priority values of other scripts part of a chord stay unmodified.

For scripts not part of a chord, the current event position is added instead. This means that for scripts with the same script-priority value, the first one attached to a note head gets the lowest priority value.

Grobs not listed here (and which are related to scripts) get 200 as the default script-priority value.
