Re: Force Lilypond to preserve vertical order of TextScripts?

Hmmm… I'm not sold on that.

If I write <c' e' g'> versus <c' g' e'>, is the order part of the content? All 
three notes appear at the same musical moment, and will appear vertically as 
<c' e' g'> either way — and that's how I would expect it. Similarly, 
c4\f\tenuto and c4\tenuto\f will appear the same way (as Lilypond determines), 
unless I specifically tweak one or more of the elements.

Why should multiple expressions be handled differently?

Thanks,
Kieren.
