New issue 3017 by address@hidden: Finger numbers and string numbers  
are placed wrongly when not using chord <> braces
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3017

When we mark notes inside a braced chord with fingering, string numbers,  
and stroke fingers,  LilyPond uses the "New_fingering_engraver".  This  
engraver sorts the notation according to note-heads by adding the note-head  
staff-position to the effective 'script-priority (which is the reason that  
the predefined script-priorities differ by large steps, typically 100).

When we mark notes outside a <>-braced chord, LilyPond uses  
the "New_fingering_engraver" for string numbers and stroke fingers, but the  
old "Fingering_engraver" for fingering.   The "Fingering_engraver"  
adjusts 'script-priority based on order of input, not note-position.

Having two different engravers arranging related items by different rules  
confuses the placement.   The attached image uses <>-braced chords before  
the double bar, no <>-braces after the double bar.
