How do I get a final barline or double barline before the repeat start line?

Hello!

When making a score for variations, I need a final barline (or double barline) before the repeat start line. How can I get this? Currently, each variation is divided by a coda sign.

Not at my computer now but I’m pretty sure you can select the bar line and shift B popover type|| for double or fin I think for a final barline.
Hope I’m not leading you astray.

Thank you!

There is a double bar option in the engraving options as described in the post linked by @derhannes. However, I still cannot find a way to place a final bar line before the start of the repeat.

Select the start repeat barline at the beginning of a variation, and in the properties panel, set Barline at end of system to whatever kind of barline you want at the end of the previous system.
