Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Bug description

The end points of figured bass continuation lines seem to depend on the content of the left text rather than ending centered on a beat space.

In this example, the continuation line for the 5 figure ends centered.
CenteredWithBracket

In this example, the continuation line is not centered because there is no bracket before the 5.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start figured bass input
  2. Enter something like "[5]__"
  3. Advance
  4. Enter a symbol on the 2nd line to see alignment
  5. Repeat without brackets around the first figure.
