Dorico and Forum newbie here, please excuse any errors.
I either have a new problem or don’t know what terms to use in search. I have a Full Score layout in galley view that has three completely separate staff systems – vertical white space in between. Each right edge is a simple separation, each left edge is a grand staff barline.
The file was generated by exporting a Sibelius 8 file to MusicXML, then importing that into Dorico. The Sibelius file had a dashed barline where there are now Dorico separations.
I want a Dorico dashed barline (Shift-B-> “:”) where the separations are, but cannot find a way to join these sections. The grand staff barline is not selectable, so I cannot simply delete it.
If you don’t need the two Coda markers, you can simply select and delete them as @arco mentions. If you want to keep the Coda’s but lose the gaps, go to Engraving options > Repeat markers > Repeat sections and scroll to find this setting:
Thank you both arco and Zalde for your suggestions. The Codas did not belong there, were probably inserted as part of the MusicXML process. And even though I had seen such separations in other scores, it simply didn’t occur to me that they were the cause of my problem.
I deleted them and the breaks closed right up.
And I’ve learned a valuable lesson thanks to you both. Thanks again.
