Selecting a Barline will open the Barline Palette. With this palette, you are able to quickly add measures, rehearsal marks, or change keys and time signatures. Note: The Barline Palette is different from the Staff Palette (opened by selecting the first barline on a staff), which is used for adding things like labels or brackets and braces.

Insert Measure:
Pressing this button inserts a measure after the selected barline. |
|
 |
Text:
Selecting the Text button allows you to input special instructions for a
measure. Select a preset from the list, or type your own customized
phrase. Once you have input the text, you may select it and a
Drag Handle will appear,
allowing you to adjust where on your staff the text will sit. |
|
 |
Time Signature:
This will open the Time Signature palette,
where commonly used time signatures will be displayed. For an uncommon or
custom time signature, select the
... button and
the Custom time Signature window will open. Use the Up/Down arrows to
select which Time Signature you would like to use, then press "Okay" when
done. |

Key Signature:
The Key Signature button opens up a sub palette, which displays a variety
of keys to choose from. Simply press the button for which key you would
like to use, and it will be added to the measure. |
|
 |
Drag Handle:
Drag Handles allow you to move selected items in the
program. By selecting an item (ranging from notes and dynamics to
articulations or even text) and adjusting its Drag Handle, you can
maneuver the selected item to make your notation appear less "cluttered."
In this particular example, moving the Drag Handle adjusts the width of
the measure by moving the selected barline. |
