Hi Brad, I'm a little late jumping in on this, but isn't the notational standard to break the barlines around vocal staves? Aren't you running into a lot of lyric/extension collisions with barlines? I always understood that the purpose of this practice was to prevent collisions with the lyric and extension traffic.
I'm not sure the reason(s) you might have to not break the barlines in this situation, but breaking them would eliminate this collision, as well as others, globally.
