Can I change the thickness of just one line?

Hello. I'm using the line tool in Smart Shapes. Is there any way to adjust the line thickness on a case-by-case basis? When I go to "Smart Shape Options" from the Smart Shape menu, I can change the line thickness there. But it changes the thickness for all of the lines. Is there any way to just change the thickness for the line I have selected? Thank you.

I would
- clear that very line from the score,
- use the sub-tool Custom Line Tool, to create a custom line for just that occurrence.
