This is exactly my point. All of the suggested solutions to maintain consistent vertical ordering require using a case-by-case override or markup function. There is no way to create a global setting to force Lilypond to respect text vertical ordering. MOST of the time, Lilypond respects the order

Hi Joram, TextScript.script-priority has a default value of 200. Each concurrent TextScript will be counted up (starting with 200+0 = 200, 200+1 = 201, 200+2 = 202, etc.) by default. The smaller the number, the closer to the notehead. So, by default, LilyPond will keep the order of TextScripts
