Project
When staff text 3 is created next to staff text 2 (which was shifted upwards to avoid a colission with staff text 1), staff text 3 is placed even higher than staff text 2, when it could be at the same height as staff text 1 because it has enough space.
Comments
This is unfortunately not really possible in the current architecture of automatic placement, which works from left to right and is based on "skyline" only. See #274710: Wrong Automatic Placement (stacked) of overlapped text elements for some additional thoughts.
