Thinking further more, any bar line should never cross a text sign (bar
lines aren't so important anyway, because you have the measure timing
given) by default. But note heads, stems etc. should stay as they are
now and text solid background should be optional or even not needed in
many cases (you can ident a sign a bit to avoid collision with a stem
for example).
In the previous example (Chopin's Etude), this could be seen where the
bar line hides behind /molto legato/ sign, but a triplet number is in
front of the sign, but it isn't annoying.
So my suggestion is that bar line should always hide behind text signs
and other elements are always in front of the sign (or optionally behind).

I suggest the following new feature.
As seen in many sources (currently looking at Henle urtext Chopin's
Etudes), expression text signs (cresc., ritardando, sotto voce...)
have solid white background, so the bar lines don't mix up with them.
Usually, we can avoid hitting a slur, a stem or a dynamic marking, but
hardly a bar line. IMO, this shouldn't be a default setting for all
the text signs now (sometimes, a short pin of a note beam won't do any
harm to a large /fortissimo/ sign), but should allow being optional.
I attached a scanned part of the Chopin's Etude op.25 no.2. Notice the
/molto legato/ sign.
