PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, do one of the following:

● Start note input.

● Select an item at the rhythmic position where you want to input a barline. If you want to

input a barline on a single staff, select an item that belongs to that staff only.

2. Optional: If you want to input barlines onto multiple specic staves at once, extend the caret

to those staves.

3. Press Shift-B to open the bars and barlines popover.

Enter the barline you want into the popover.

For example, enter || for a double barline.

Input the barline and close the popover in one of the following ways:

● To input a barline on all staves, press Return .

● To input a barline only on the selected staff or staves across which the caret extends,

press Alt/Opt-Return .

NOTE

You can only input barlines onto single staves that already have an independent time

signature.

RESULT

During note input, barlines are input at the caret position.

When you add barlines to existing music, they are added at the rhythmic position of the earliest

selected item. They appear to the right of clefs and to the left of other items. If you selected an

existing barline, the new barline directly replaces the existing one.

Surrounding music automatically adjusts to accommodate the barline. For example, note

grouping, rests, and tied notes all adjust if necessary.

NOTE

Normal barlines that you have input directly, such as to replace an existing double barline,

are still considered explicit barlines and break multi-bar rests. Deleting barlines resets them

completely.
