Hi list,I often come across a problem like in the attached example where I want an extender line to stop (in the example upper system before bar 3).
I can achieve something like it by adding e.g. a "." to the Lyrics and change the colour to white or something similar (see example lower system bar 3) but that seems somewhat hacky and I'd like to have a better way.
Is there a better way? Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: m...@qata.de GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver
