priority is set.

each of the groups of keys 1 to 4 and keys 5 to 8. You can
make any setting within the groups of keys 1 to 4 or keys
5 to 8, but not for combinations of keys from different
groups. For example, it is not possible to set a priority
sequence of keys 1, 5, and 2.
For details, see “Setting the Key Priority in the Transition
Control Block” (page 98).
The following controls are used as the independent key
transition control block.
