The vertical lines were made in the Shape designer, where you have numerical control over placement and line thickness (with the staff line characters you can't change the line thickness). I removed the check mark by "Allow Horizontal Stretching" so that the lines stay the same distance apart in the score. The shape can still be resized vertically in the score, so it was easy to place the vertical staff exactly where I needed it. A succession of staff line characters as an arrowhead could be useful if you needed a sloping staff.
