Re: \thumb and Fingering: different priority?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'm not sure why the current default settings for \thumb were choosen as 
they are, but if you want to modify it in your files, you can do

\version "2.12.1"
\layout{
\context{
  \Score
  scriptDefinitions = #(cons `("thumb" .
       ((script-stencil . (feta . ("thumb"  . "thumb")))
       (avoid-slur . around)  ; Default is inside
       (padding . 0.50)          ; Default is 0.50
       (direction . ,UP))) default-script-alist)
}
}

\relative c'' {
   e2(-0 g) |
   f2(-\thumb g)
 }

Please note that it's a back-quote after cons, not an ordinary quote.
