Another example of something that can be handled in the music spacing options of both score and parts. No manual tweaking necessary either place. But unlike the articulation selection, choosing to avoid collisions of Text Expressions may create some odd spacing where you don't want it to. It would be nice if some of these automatic options could be determined per measure as well as globally.
