Re: Mark-bar number-ChoirStaff and tempo-mf clashes

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's a common problem to have to fiddle with the vertical position
of different annotations in the music. I agree with you that it
would be great if LilyPond could handle more of these situations
automatically.
In general, the property 'padding' is you best friend in these
situations.

Try something like
\property Staff.MetronomeMark \override #'padding = #2.0
(default is 0.8)

Similarly,

\property Score.BarNumber \override #'padding = #1.5
\property Score.RehearsalMark \override #'padding = #3

should help the situation.
