Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Add 2 extra staves to an instrument such as clarinet
- Add a "cresc..." line to each stave, and position them so the text crosses a barline
Expected: a bit of each barline is hidden where the text crosses in each stave
Actual: this does not happen for the bottom stave

Additional context
A user on Discord experienced a very similar issue with a line text feature not breaking barlines between the first and second stave in a 3-stave piano part, which implies that my repro case is too narrow.
