Bar line question

• Oct 4, 2019 - 23:48

Hi, gang!!!

I have some Vivaldi's pieces with all the movements in the same individual file (I uploaded one of them here).

I wonder if it is possible to include an starting bar line (the opposite of the ending bar line, with the big, fat, black line in the left side) at the beginning of each movement... Can we? How?

I'm asking this, because there is not such kind of bar into the Master Palette, so...

Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

It's not in the palette because this not normally how music is notated. You can add the symbol from the symbols palette, but you will have to position it manually, and you won't be able to get it to extend between staves. Unless you have some sort of really unusual special reason to want to create this non-standard notation, I would recommend trying.

Hi, gang!!!

I found a more simple way to get this: To insert a "vertical frame"!!!

With this, MuseScore automatically does what I want (put an starting bar line and brackets, all over the piece), Awesome!!!

The only one problem I have, now, is... I don't know how to get a sound pause (2 or more seconds) between the movements. Musescore starts to play the next movement, immediately. So... If there is some way to work around this point, please... LET ME KNOW!!!

Thank you so much for all your help!!!

I'm confused what you mean about adding a vertical frame, though. That doesn't add one of those unusual start barlines - or if it is in some score of yours, it's a bug we'd need to fix. Maybe, though, you are getting confused by the brackets on some of the staves, which kind of makes the regular start barline look like one of those special barlines?

But yes, adding a vertical frame between movements, and a section break at the end of each movement, is the right approach.
