Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Create a dynamic with a piece of expression text attached to it, where both items will be autoplaced downwards on account of the length of the text
  2. Make the expression text invisible. The dynamic should now be able to move back up, but doesn't. If you delete or detach the text it will.

Supporting files, videos and screenshots

Invisible dynamics and expression text separately remain in their 'autoplaced' positions:

That's not bad in itself, it just shouldn't affect other items.
