Hi Carl,
Having bar lines align to a grid actually hurts readability and makes
it more likely that players will accidentally skip a line. It's one of
those conventions of hand-copying (like only including the key
signature on the topmost system) that we are well rid of.
However, if for some reason you really want that grid, you can always
set your minimum and maximum measure widths to be the same value.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Other things, like getting the bar lines to align on rhythm parts
(where 4 measures/system makes good sense most of the time), also
helps. Why bar lines don't align to grid is a mystery, (though that
might have changed since FinWin2k4), but trying to emulate the
professional parts you've played (the good ones) can make a big
difference.
