Barline before key change help!

• Apr 16, 2024 - 14:41

How do I add a barline before the key change which is placed before the repeat. The images below describes the barline that I am talking about. I'd prefer to not have to add a blank measure (I always mess up the timing, measure number, playback, etc), but I'm not sure if there is any other way....What other options could I do to work around this? Thank you!

You can only fake this.
Use the master palette / symbols. There are different types of bar lines. Connect one to the rest and drag it to the right place.

You can also offset the key-sig after turning off automatic placement so that it manifests after the barline, but this requires an accommodation of leading space at the first following chord-rest. While offsetting, another measure can help to 'eyeball' layout, such as shown in this demonstration:
