Is there a way to put the final barline at different positions?

Hi everyone!

I am looking for help on this forum as I am trying to approximate the notation seen in this image:


Is it possible to have the final barline be indipendent from the other instruments? How could I achieve this? For now I wasn’t really able to achieve any of this.
The question could also be framed differently: is it possible to delete bars at the end of the flow just for one instrument, without the other ones beeing affected?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If it’s a solo instrument, you can move the barline with the note spacing tool in engrave mode. alt/opt+left arrow or cmd/ctrl+alt/opt+left arrow for bigger steps. Otherwise, you can try with manual cutaways.

Thanks a lot for your response! I was able to create manual cutaways very easily.

How did you manage to put final barlines on separated places without the other instruments being affected? Dorico automatically selects all barlines from top to bottom.
I tried activating the local/global button, but that didn’t work as well.

Thanks in advance for further helping me out.

I think you have to create local time signatures first. Hold down alt/opt when confirming the Shift-M measure dialog for each of the staves. And then local barlines also the same way.
