-- OH MY GOD! please do NOT do this if you want the barlines between staves globally! there is a barline style in finale since (ouf...?) at least 10 years. select your group bracket and open the dialogue, set "Barlines" to "Only Between Staves (Mensurstriche)" if you insist on making only some barlines in a given system like that (i have in fact needed to in the past), set it up as a shape expression with the desired length and thickness. apply manually each time, not using a metatool, otherwise you will have to change every instance if you want them to be thicker or longer globally. barbara, if mensurstriche is *not* what you want, can you share a page of what you are working on? cheers, jef > > On 16 April 2017 at 17:08 Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > I hope you really need this feature, because I have found a time consuming > > manual workaround.
