7/4 = 4/4 + 3/4, how to add a vertical dotted line between the 4th and the 5th quarter ?

• Aug 17, 2023 - 21:31

Dear all,
I am working with a piece of music written in 7/4 whereby I would like to have a vertical dotted line ( gestrichelter Takstrich) after the 4th quarter in each measure.

That is possible with D5O and is very pleasing to read, however I could not find how to do that in MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.1.1-232071203

Looking forward your advice.
Thankyou !

There ought to be an easier way, but...

Create a 7/4 Time Signature
Add it to the score
Fill the first measure with a 4-beat rest and 3 quarter-note rests
Select the first measure and press "R" for a few seconds to copy this layout across the score

Now for the workaround bit:
Right-click on a 4-beat rest, Select >More >Same duration, press OK
Go to the Barlines palette and click on the "Dotted barline" icon
