I'm working on a song that has a key change right where a forward
repeat needs to also be displayed. It looks like it's putting in an
extra bar line for some reason. Is there a way to make this not do
this?!! I've put a snapshot up on my site for you to see what I mean:

What you show here is correct practice. See, for example, Gardner
Read, Music Notation, p. 227. Read points out that while repeat
signs often coincide with bar lines, they are not *actually* bar lines.
He says: When a change of meter or key signature comes at the
beginning of a section to be repeated, the change is indicated on the
staff *before* the position of the first repeat bar. And he gives an
example very much like yours, except that the bar line before the key
change is a double bar line.
Now, if you really want to get rid of that bar line, just select the
Measure tool, double-click the measure before the key change, and set
the right bar line to 'Invisible'. But I think you'll find that that
looks wrong.
