Thanks much. That's it. Not exactly as convenient as the reverse ('create
barline between staves') but at least it only means clearing 216 staff styles.

I once saved a trick from the Makemusic Forum. Maybe it'll help.

-

Here's a trick to get a custom barline in one staff at selected points 
in the score. It will only allow one type of custom barline in the 
selected staff, but it's better than nothing:

First, make a group of the staff and put the custom barline as the 
barline for that group. Then go to the Measure tool, select the whole 
piece and choose Edit Measure Attributes. Set Barline to "Normal" and 
check the option "Override Group Barlines". The custom barlines will 
have completely disappeared for the moment. To make one appear just 
select Measure Attributes for the measure before it and un-check 
"Override Group Barlines".

=

For each of the groups in the score check "use alternate barline" and 
set it to Normal. Then make a group for the single instrument that 
occasionally may need a special barline. "Use alternate barline" should 
*not* be checked for this.
When selecting, say a double barline, the option "Override Groups 
Barlines" (in the bottom of the Measure Attributes dialogue box) will 
automatically get selected. Now, if you deselect this option, the double 
barline will only occur in the staff that *doesn't* "use alternate barline".
If you need special barlines for *different* single staves (or groups) 
in different places in the score, create groups for each of these 
occurrences. Whenever you need the special barline in one staff, make 
sure the system is optimized. Then you can delete all the groups that 
shouldn't get the special barline, without affecting the global group 
definitions.

create a region with a staff group with barlines through all staves 
then selectively apply (i.e. to the RH staves of the 2nd-4th 
instruments for the measures needed) a staff style that has nothing 
other defined than "break barlines between staves".

[Finale] Barlines through all staves

2016-08-23 Thread Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
Hi all,

I'm finishing a client's score for four pianos and he has asked that 72 of the
780 measures have a barline through all staves (to indicate section
divisions).

I don't see an easy way to create a kind of mid-page 'left barline'. Maybe
there's a plugin? FinWin 2014.5

Thanks!

Dennis
