Within a staff group, how do I "draw barlines through staves" only at the edges of the system (right as well) and not in between?
Thank you in advance!

Go to Document Options > Barlines and check "Close Barline at the End of Each System". That will close the right barlines. I assume your left barlines are already closed.

That would close the system's barline instead of the group's barline... The intention is to visually separate individual groups within a large orchestral score at the left as well as right edge of the score.

Jiri,
Here is a solution for the right edge of the score:
Use two staff groups for the same instrument group.
A. One staff group with Draw Barlines “Only on Staves”.
Select “Use Alternate Group Barline”, and choose the Normal barline as Alternate Group Barline.
Choose a Group Bracket for this instrument group.
B. Another staff group with Draw Barlines “Only Between Staves (Mensurstriche)”.
Select “Use Alternate Group Barline”, and choose the Invisible barline as Alternate Group Barline.
As the Group Bracket, choose “NONE”.
Measure Tool.
Double-click the last measure in the first system.
In the Measure Attributes, select “Override Group Barlines”.
Repeat this step for the last measure in each system.
I am not sure what you mean regarding the left edge of the score??
Do you not have a Left Barline that goes through all the staves, to make it clear that all the staves belong to the same system?
