barline missing, how to show it again?

[drumstudio2000]

Hi, If I have 2 bars of music and apply a custom staff style I have made, the right barline of my 1st measure is gone.
I checked my meassure attribute is not as invisible (is set as normal) but barline is still missing.
What Im doing wrong? Could anyone help me to get the barline back?
THANKS!

Check Staff Attributes for that staff. Since the barline is only missing on one staff, and since the Staff Style is not set to turn off barlines, then that is my guess. Or, post the file here and we can check it out.

Then I guess we will need to see a file with this misbehavior.

It appears that when you defined the Staff Style, you created barlines with 0 above and 0 below the single line. In inches, you might choose .083 above and -.083 below, to match the way Finale has it for the stock definition for the single staff line Staff Style with short barline.

I am having the same issue. I have a long score of 50 pages. I am using tic barlines, a custom half barline (as in plainchant), and normal, double, and final barlines.

Twice now I have had to go re-insert EVERY custom half barline, because they have disappeared and do not appear in print or PDF scores. I have not changed any settings between when they appear and when they disappear. All other barlines are working fine, only the custom barline is disappearing. I've never experienced this before.

This is maddening. How do I fix this so they stay permanently?

[zuill]

May we examine the misbehaving file?

Zuill

[ljlmusic]

Certainly. How do I get it to you?

[zuill]

You can upload it here, if you want. Otherwise, I guess you can send an attachment in a PM on this Forum.

Just sent it to you Zuill in a private message.

[zuill]

I don't see an attachment in your PM.

Zuill

[ljlmusic]

It said the file was attached successfully. I'll try again.

[zuill]

Still not there. I sent a reply with an attachment to see if the process works.

There's a 150kb maximum file size, which I hadn't noticed. Tiny files only!

I see Bar 40 has the Custom Barline chosen. What shape did you use for that? Right now it's showing Shape 1, which is the MM Rest Shape.

I use shape 79 which I created. Screenshots attached. If it is showing #1, it changed that somehow through the entire piece. I did not change it.

[ljlmusic]

It should be the right-hand bar in measures 6, 25, 29, 31, 34, 37, 39, 40, 41, 46 ... and many more after that.

[motet]

Did you use the Measure tool to change other attributes after specifying the barline? It looks like if you do that it changes the shape to shape 1. A bug, I guess.

You might be able to get around it by making your shape shape 1, if that's possible.

[ljlmusic]

I might have, I don't remember for sure. I will copy 79 to no. 1 in case it happens again. Sure seems like a bug! Thanks for your help.

[motet]

Alas, that doesn't seem to fix it. It correctly points to the (new) number 1, but displays as a blank. I guess you'll have to do them last thing.

[ljlmusic]

This seems like something serious enough Finale ought to want to fix it!

[motet]

You should file a problem report.

I thought this was a Finale-run forum. Aren't you guys working for Finale?
