The documentation on script-priority in s.1.3.1 of the NR ("Controlling 
the vertical ordering of scripts") only mentions scripts attached to 
single notes. Maybe a sentence or two should be added regarding chords. 
Paraphrasing what you have written above: "Note that if scripts are 
attached to different notes in a chord, scripts attached to a lower note 
will always appear below scripts attached to a higher note, regardless 
of any script-priority that has been set."
