May I don't grasp the original post. It sounds like he needs staggered barlines (as I think we used to call them). For this, hiding 'real' barlines and using barlines as lyrics means they can space themselves the same in all parts they affect. It doesn't work in every situation, though. I've used expressions, too. Just offering another option until Finale gives us real staggered barlines (after I'm long dead).
