Thanks, Richard. I did what you suggested but still don't seem to have luck
with inserting the dotted barline when there's a system break. Here's the
breakdown of my process:
:: Every time when there's a system break (e.g. between mm. 8 and 9), the
pre-defined (Directives => Inserting Barlines) or custom-made (thick)
barline reappears at the beginning of the new system below, right after the
clef. This doesn't happen when I insert another pre-defined (e.g., double)
barline from the Inserting Barlines menu.
:: In order to insert a pre-defined (e.g., double) or custom-made barline
(e.g. dotted), I place the green cursor on the given barline between two
measures (e.g., 8 and 9). Once there, the cursor turns red. At this point,
I click to Directives => Menu of Objects to Insert, when the custom barline
is successfully placed in the score, *except* that the same barline is
printed again at the beginning of the new system that follows below.
:: Per your suggestion, I tried inserting a different symbol in step 2
(appearance when the barline is at the beginning) when creating a
custom-barline, but that created an error message informing me that
Lilypond can't typeset the music.
Might it be possible to create pre-defined (built in) buttons to insert
various Lilypond barlines in the next Denemo release, in addition to other
barlines that Denemo comes with at the moment?
THANK YOU!
P.S. Multi-measure rests are working great. Thanks!
