That's perfect Jean, thanks! I did fool around with
outside-staff-priority, but always with a number.  I didn't know it
could take a value of false.

To the list again, in the Internals Reference for TextScript
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/internals/textscript)
under outside-staff-priority, it says it takes a number but there's no
mention of it taking a boolean.  Did I miss something or is this a
possible improvement to the manual?
