Irregular bars / measures

• Oct 2, 2018 - 17:50

I have a piece in which the measures are totally irregular. I would like to have Musescore let me put barlines wherever I like and not be confined to a particular time signature.
The actual piece has bars of length 3, 5, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 4, 1, 3 and so on, it is more like plainsong I guess. I don't want to splatter the score with hundreds of different time signatures, just have the bar lines in the right place.

You can Join measures to make an entire line and adjust the final length in measure properties if you need to. Enter your notes, then click the first note of a measure and use Edit->Measure->Split measure... to force a new measure at that point. In my opinion this is the easiest method for such odd measure lengths. If you want time signatures in them, then start at the last measure and work forward and put time signatures in last.
