RE: Accidental hiding fingering indication

[Nick Payne]

Well, I've found that if I reverse the order in which the pitches appear in
the chord, the problem is solved. i.e. in bar 6 of the treble voice in my
score, if I have

<a-3 cs-4 e>

then the fingering indication for A is obscured by the c-sharp accidental,
whereas if I have

<e cs-4 a-3>

then there is no collision between the fingering indication and the
accidental.

Should there be this sensitivity to the order in which the pitches for the
chord appear in the ly file?
