Finale 25.5.0.259 OSX 10.14.4
Greetings — I have encountered a problem in staff settings.
I have a piano piece set out on 2 or 3 staves, including some multiple time-signatures which required barlines drawn through only 2 of the 3 staves.
In spite of trying options in the staff tool (groups & brackets, staff attributes), I am now unable to use 3 staves with barlines drawn through all three staves.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I am sure you understand, how difficult it can be to diagnose something blindly with nothing to look at.
Please attach a (small) sample Finale document here.
You can safely delete all notes from the sample document; we only need to examine the barlines.

Raybird,
Take a look at the attached Finale document.
Is this what you need?
The culprit was a setting in the Staff Attributes for the middle staff:
Break Barlines Between Staves
For the first 8 measures in the middle staff I added a custom staff style that does only one thing:
de-select {Break Barlines Between Staves}
