I'm trying to add text that sits on top of (or right below) a notehead inside of the staff. This is possible with fingerings, but once you put the number in quotes, or a letter in quotes, it no longer works.
What I've done so far is: disable outside-staff-priority to allow the text to collide with the staff, and disable staff-padding to allow the text to fall down (it would fall to the correct spot if this were fingering). One of the main issues is that disabling outside-staff-priority allows the text to collide with the noteheads. \version "2.24.2" \relative c' { \omit Score.Stem \override TextScript.staff-padding = #'() \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f c^"c" d^"d" }
