In the Style > General > Score dialog there is a phrase, "Display note values across measure bar (EXPERIMENTAL, early music only!)."
Would this be better? "Display note values across barlines (EXPERIMENTAL, early music only!)."

Might better be measure boundaries, maybe?
FWIW, "barlines" is definitely more grammatically / musically correct than the existing wording in English (both US and UK). "Measure boundaries" works as well for US, would presumably be "bar boundaries" in UK. I don't really have a preference between "barline" or "measure boundary". The latter is I guess more accurate / descriptive, but somehow also potentially more confusing? Either way though, it would be an improvement over the current. And we should also consider whether we still want to highlight this as experimental. Probably works better than local time signatures...
Problem is that with that setting notes do not really cross barlines, not in the sense of straddling them visually.
Right, it's more "conceptually" that they cross barlines. I'm fine with either wording.
I would go for "boundaries".
OK, also remove the "(EXPERIMENTAL, early music only!)"?
For the moment I left the "Experimental" in, see the 2nd commit to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3413 (for master) and https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3414 (for 2.2)
