Hi all,
Is there a way to extend the right bar line (and/or repeat lines) of a single measure through an entire staff system?
Thanks,
Pat

I'm preparing an SATB w/ keyboard score for a client who wants bar lines in the choral section to be only in the measures. That is easily set through groups and brackets. The keyboard staff gets bar lines through the staves; again set with groups and brackets. The client wants selected bar lines through the staves in the choral section, but only on individual measure stacks. She also wants repeat bar lines through all staves, not just within the measures. I haven't been able to find a way to do this short of defining a singleline expression and manually placing it between staves. There should be a better way.

You can define a group for just the repeat bar (upper-right corner of Group Attributes bar). Select the measure stack of that measure and then choose Group/Add through the menu.
