Inputting barlines with the panel
You can input barlines using the Bars and Barlines panel, both during step input and by adding them to existing music. You can also change the type of existing barlines.
These steps describe inputting with the default mouse input preference Create item at selection.
Prerequisite
If you want to input barlines onto single staves only, you have input an independent key signature on those staves.
Procedure
Result
During step input, barlines are input at the caret position.
When you add barlines to existing music, they are added immediately to the left of a selected note or rest.
When you change existing barlines, the new barline directly replaces the selected barline.
Surrounding music automatically adjusts to accommodate the barline. For example, note grouping, rests, and tied notes all adjust if necessary.
