How do you put a fermata on a barline instead of a note, and is there
any way to make it play back?
Thanks,

The easiest way is to attach it to a nearby measure item, then drag it
over by hand, or use the nudge keys (arrows) to move it. If you attach
it to a rest, it will play back more or less as you expect it to.
If there are wall-to-wall notes on both sides of the barline and
playback is REALLY important to you, I suggest this:
Create an empty measure. Put a real whole rest in, and hide it using O
in speedy entry. Attach the fermata to it. In Measure Attributes for
that measure, make the width zero. If you need less time, make it a
measure of 1/4, but set the measure attributes to hide the time sig.
You could also create it as a measure expression, set it to
auto-position over the barline, and set it to playback, too, but that
would be more work.
