I'm unclear whether you need to have the barlines touch the staff (but not go through it), or whether you need to have the staff freestanding for the one bar. If you only want the staff free-standing, you can do it with a staff style as Dennis described. If you want the barlines to touch the staf

I've just figured out a way after playing around with styles and groups for a while. (by the way, this is in Viola 2) 1) Set the full strings group to only between staves. 2) All of the sub-groups in the strings set to through staves. 3) Set the viola group to a custom invisible bar line. No bar

You can do this with groups as follows. 1. For the entire group, set the "Draw Barlines" to "Only Between Staves". 2. Add an unnamed group for the staves above the special staff with "Draw Barlines" set to "Through Staves". 3. Add an unnamed group for the staves below the special staff with "Dra

Have you tried creating a staff style that breaks the barline between staves as well? That should override the grouping issue. You may need to apply a staff style to two staves. First create a staff style that unchecks barlines and break bars between staves. Apply that to the staff in questi

I'd like to hide the bar line on one staff in a group in a large orchestral score. In other words, the instrument's staff will break the barline. I can't hide it using a staff style because I believe the group line overrides it. A couple methods I can think of: 1) Use an expression to white out

If you use the eraser tool to delete everything in the measure it should leave the "Default Whole Rest" regardless of time signature. On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 8:37 PM, David McKay wrote: > I have forgotten how to force a whole bar rest in time signatures other > than > Common Time. > I am guessin

Doesn't finale automatically put a whole rest in the bar anyway? Make sure that the option is checked in the staff attributes. 7 is the key for whole rests in speedy. What does the error message say? That there are too many beats in the measure? Can't you just click "ignore" and keep working?
