Bar numbers collide with Markers when "Avoid Collisions" is set

FYI bar numbers collide with Markers even when “Avoid Collisions” is set, if you have the timecode track set in the same location with markers on it. My intention is to keep all the timing information together as that’s used for audio engineering and such.


As you have so capably demonstrated, Dorico doesn’t perform collision avoidance between these kinds of items. The Avoid collisions option really applies to items on the same staff, e.g. dynamics and slurs.

Generally liking the option to not avoid collisions with slurs, dynamics, etc. However, on treble clef parts, it makes the second digit of the bar numbers at the beginning of each system almost unreadable. Wonder if there’s a middle ground or more nuanced way to implement this option?

There are some options on the Bar Numbers page of Engraving Options that allow you to specify the gap above and below different clefs at the start of the system.
