Default fingering stacking order value (Recommend < 1900)
a) I wish there was a section in the Handbook that lists the default stacking order values of various objects. Am I missing something?
b) it would make more sense to me in fingerings had a default stacking order below 1900. Currently the default is 3900.
Then they would always be in front of the staff and below notes.
In close quarter this can make a difference for those of us who use opaque white rectangles to break staff lines:
For instance, I use these values:
Frame: Rectangle
Highlight: White
Thickness: 0
Margin: 0
... and even with Margin = 0 the width of the rectangle will sometimes eclipse part of the notehead, stem or flag.

Wonderful! That's the info I need. Thank you.
It appears that you didn't find it in the MuseScore Handbook, but rather you ran some sort of Windows utility to extract the information? If so, still I recommend MuseScore publish this valuable knowledge in the Handbook.
I made a png version of your PDF and attached.

It turned out that typing the name of each item and its corresponding stacking order was the fastest way to compose the list. Glad to be of service!
ad b) in most cases I prefer a slightly different method. The AutoHotkey macro produces a staff text containing a period of size 2, set to rectangle with a thickness of 1.40 sp and a margin of 0 .00 sp colored white. The default stacking order is 950, Autoplacement off. Using a high zoomfactor the period is hidden behind an element nearby.

Thank you, very useful, I added the table to the handbook https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/automatic-placement
the AutoHotkey Kit for MuseScore as plugin alternative
do proof read because used OCR https://www.newocr.com/

Thanks for adding the table to the plugins for 3.x page. OCR extraction > proof reading > OK
And thanks for the reference to the AutoHotkey Kit for MuseScore as well.
I have published an updated version of the macro 'Apply palette symbols' on https://github.com/MichLeon/Apply-Palette-Symbols. This is possibly the biggest timesaver of the kit.
