Description

Your idea

Change so that fingerings are positioned higher/lower when the note has other markings or symbols above/below it. Also a slur generally should not position itself above a fingering in the upper bound.

Problem to be solved

Fingerings should automatically move to avoid being close to a slur in a way that is visually unappealing, or overlaps.

Prior art

No response

Additional context

This is what it looks like when it's too close (for my taste at least):

And here it overlaps with the slur when adding in a staccato:
