In this example, the <code>TextScript</code> (the ''sharp'' symbol) first has the lowest priority, so it is put lowest in the first example. In the second, the ''prall trill'' (the <code>Script</code>) has the lowest, so it is on the inside.

When two objects have the same priority, the order in which they are entered determines which one comes first.

			Note that for <code>Fingering</code>, <code>StringNumber</code>, and <code>StrokeFinger</code> grobs, if used within a chord, the vertical order is also determined by the vertical position of the associated note head, which is added to (or, depending on the direction, subtracted from) the grob’s <code>script-priority</code> value. This ensures that for fingerings above a chord the lower note is associated with the lower fingering (and vice versa for the other direction); it doesn’t matter whether you input the notes in the chord from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

			By default, the least technical scripts are positioned closest to the note head; the rough order is articulation, flageolet, fingering, right-hand fingering, string number, fermata, bowing, and text script.
