Ahh, you're right, of course.
In that case, I'd say that the response of the user would be to say "Oh, I
didn't raise the outside-staff-priority enough, because it didn't clear all
the TextScripts from the other voice. Maybe I'll need to raise the
outside-staff-priority a little more."

And an additional benefit is that it would take a stack of 10 TextScripts in
one voice will not overlap those in another voice that differ by the implied
resolution of outside-staff-priority.

OK!
