In some hand-engraved scores it is not a box, and not only for texts. 
For example, you may have a mf sign that would collide with a slur, then 
you don't erase a rectangle, but only a shape slightly larger than the 
mf glyph itself (this way you let some part of the slur remain between 
the m and the f)
