The d flat has both an accent and a staccato mark over it. Lilypond
wants to put he accent on top of the staccato. I wanted the staccato
on top of the accent. Here are four tries. Two of them work; two of
them don't. (no surprise there) Two seem to be according to the
manual page 96; two don't. That's a surprise.
\once \override Script #'script-priority = #500 %%works but shouldn't
df4->-.
\once \override Script #'script-priority = #-500 %%doesn't work but should
df4->-.
\once \override Script #'script-priority = #500 %%works and should
df4-.->
\once \override Script #'script-priority = #-500 %%doesn't work
and shouldn't
df4-.->
Here are my assumptions; some of them must be wrong:
I want the staccato to have low priority so it will be outside the accent.
-> and -. are both Scripts, so I shouldn't mess with TextScript here.
500 is low priority; -500 is high priority.
Because of the once, the priority change will apply to the first
script it comes to, i.e. the accent in the first two examples and the
staccato in the second two. The second script will retain its normal
priority (which I don't know the value of, but which I think has an
absolute value less than 500).
My reading of the manual says that, in the order of the examples, the
accent will be low (500), high (-500), high (because the staccato
is low at 500), low (because the staccato is high at -500).
The results I'm getting tell me that the override is always applied
to the staccato, no matter whether it comes before or after the
accent, i.e. the accent is high, low, high, low.
Can someone clarify this for me? thanks
