Custom barlines extension addition for handbook OR Beat-value alignment style setting.

• Jan 26, 2021 - 23:39

One of the features that I have used, and I think should be mentioned within the handbook, is the ability drag and drop custom barlines that effect only ONE instrument.

I have to transcribe simple scores for student learning, so it is helpful when the notes are aligned across phrases. My workaround is to build a score consisting of however many instruments as there are phrases and then enter the music one phrase at a time. Playback is ruined, but the manuscript looks fabulous.

The only critique is how to create a final barline at the end of the fourth phrase (for all MuseScore understands is that it's the last measure). I've found that trying to select only the one barline and change it within the inspector changes all staves, so that doesn't work.

Instead, I open the Palette, hold CTRL and drag the custom barline to the desired location. Eureka, I've finally found a method to put that last barline in and keep the rest as my "normal custom" single barline.

Again, it doesn't help for playback, but it would be SOOOO awesome if there was a style that I could write a song and it automatically align notes by beat value from phrase to phrase.
