Bar Lines Disappeared?
I got through the first line in my first time arranging sheet music and the bar lines on the second line all disappeared. The second line still works but has the whole bar in the entire line. All the other lines seem okay, but I'm a noob at computers and have no idea how to fix it. I tried adding bar lines manually in palettes. Didn't work. Any very detailed, simple explanations and solutions much appreciated...

Not sure, what you're missing. Please attache the score, to see what happens.
Or are you talking about a missing bar line at the start of a single staff. If so you can activate it in general settings, see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/layout-and-formatting#style-edit-gene…

I don't think that's what I'm talking about and I don't know how to attach the score quite yet. Anyway, what I mean is that on the second line there's no bar lines. At all. The entire line seems to be a single bar and the notes are really spaced out. Instead of |1234|1234|1234|1234| its | 1 2 3 4| and it started doing that on the third line as well. The fourth, fifth and sixth line are all okay as of now, but i want to know how to fix it. It plays properly when the music starts, but it's really weird to read and I'd very much like to fix it.
Okay, as I posted this the spaced out 1234 doesn't recognize all the spaces I put, but the point is still there.

If you mean this ? (image below), for now simply: REMOVE the line break - marked with a green arrow on the image.
And so, that does not mean that the barlines have disappeared. But that means under certain conditions of layout, it happens, a single measure can take the space of a whole line.
