Barlines
Barlines are vertical lines that cross staves in order to show how music is divided into bars, according to the time signature. The most commonly used barline is the single barline between adjacent bars, but there are different types, such as double or repeat barlines.
Barlines across staff groups
In order to make it easier to find a particular instrument within a score, barlines can extend across instrumental and staff groups.
Showing barlines across all staves at time signature changes
You can join all staves with a barline at time signature changes in individual layouts, regardless of your bracketing style.
