Combining bars

You can combine two or more bars into one, longer bar by deleting the barline between them.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the barline you want to delete.
  2. Delete the barline in any of the following ways:

    • Press Backspace or Delete.

    • Choose Edit > Delete. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The bars on either side of the deleted barline combine into one bar. If required, the notes inside are automatically re-beamed appropriately.

Note

Deleting a barline does not automatically change the time signature. To avoid confusion, you can add a new time signature to reflect the new rhythmic duration of the bar.
