Deleting barlines

You can delete barlines without affecting the rhythmic positions of notes.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the barlines you want to delete.
  2. Delete the barlines in any of the following ways:

    • Press Backspace or Delete.

    • Choose Edit > Delete. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The barline is deleted. The two bars either side of the barline combine into one bar, containing the same number of beats but without changing the time signature.

To avoid confusion, you can add a new time signature to reflect the new rhythmic duration of the bar.
