Bringing the visible LC windows to the front after displaying seems to work for me. Most of the time, anyway. Sometimes the backdrop appears on my main monitor, sometimes on the other one. It's hard to predict which. But the following script does the job of not hiding everything behind the backdrop.

on bringLCtoFront
   local tWindows

   set the backdrop to "black"
   put the windows into tWindows
   repeat for each line tWindow in tWindows
      if the visible of stack tWindow then
         open stack tWindow
      end if
   end repeat
end bringLCtoFront
