Re: Force Lilypond to preserve vertical order of TextScripts?

[Saul Tobin]

It seems very un-Lilypond-like for the output to be so unpredictable, given that the order is well defined most of the time. It is hard to predict from the code when Lilypond will violate the specified order, so the only real solution is to combine expressions into a single markup 100% of the time. IMO this workaround amounts to deprecating the use of multiple TextScripts as undefined behavior.

If their vertical order is seminal to the reading, you need to either
make them a single markup or give them different outside-staff-priority
values.
