Dynamics and text to put over a barline.

• Sep 9, 2011 - 11:53

Hello!

As you know, sometimes you want to put a dinamic mark (p, mf, sf, etc) or expression mark (dolce, legato, etc) on a piano score (or any other kind of piece with multiple staves) but the music is too dense and there's no room.

In that case, old music printers used to remove a small segment of a barline between two staves and put the text there.

With much effort, that can already be done with Musescore (making a barline invisible and substituting it with 2 vertical lines, etc.), but it's difficult, and if there's some bar re-breaking, it becomes a mess.

(See example)

So, what about implementing one of these things (or both)?

1) Letting you put a color background to a text (in the same way that you can already add a frame). If turned white, it could be put over a barline making a part of it invisible.

2) Enabling you to remove (or make invisible) a small central segment of an individual barline.

Thank you very much!!
