Hello, I searched but could not find. How can I set that repeat and end lines are drawn over multiple staffs. This was what I was used to, but after some new installation of update these lines are broken as shown in the picture.  Cheers Jaap | ||

Howdy Jaap, This change was by design, to accommodate lyric placement without interference from barlines that crossed where they were unwanted. You can use a brace or bracket to group the staves you want to have barlines cross between. ttfn, Sherry | ||

Hello Cherry, I'm currently working on quit some corrections and additions in many of our bands paper music. We have our notations in several versions. One for keyboard which is 2 staves (left hand and right hand), a second one is conductor 3 or 4 staves, and a third is the melody line for harmonica players (only one stave, but with lyrics. When lyrics is between the lines I can agree that the bar lines coud be interfering, although I had no problems with bar lines that crossed the lyrics. My Keyboard versions in general has two staves, but no lyrics. This is the one where I really mis the bar lines, but particular the repeat lines and the end lines. It would be great to have a configurable option to switch on/off bar lines in the staves, I would suggest always to have the end barlines and repeat lines to be printed. Looking forward for your reaction Cheers Jaap | ||

Howdy Jaap, There's not an on/off "button", but you can use braces to "tell" Composer to turn on the bar lines across staves.  You can add them using Staff Symbols/Add braces or brackets. ttfn, Sherry | ||

Hello Cherry, Thanks, yes that solves the issue for me. It is also what i found in most of my organ music books. I can add this to my favorite template. However I could imagine that without the "Bracing" still the end of the staves as standard gets a barline across the staves, the same as at the front of the staves. This is not where lyrics are crossing by barelines. Cheers Jaap | ||

Howdy Jaap, We do have a "to do" task that will allow this option to be easier to use in the future.
Good point! I'll add this emendation to the task 1703. ttfn, Sherry |
