Vertical lines on multiple staves

Hi!

The title says it all really… Is there a way now to add a vertical across staves to indicate synchronisation? Thanks in avance!

This would have been possible before with the lines feature, so yes.

Thank you for your reply. In that case I’m sorry but I can’t figure out how to do it? (ie for multiple instruments, not only instruments with two staves).

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance!

Enter all your vertical lines on the bottom stave.
Select all the vertical lines using Edit>Filter>Vertical lines.
Go to Engrave and change the vertical lines property Top Offset Y=? to whatever you want.
(Note: the line only exists in the score and the bottom stave part. If you don’t want it to show in that part, you can custom scale it to 1 in the part)

I’m on iPad so it looks a little different, but:

Start out with a small line: (it attaches to one reference note, as Janus says)

Stretch it in engrave mode:

Ok thanks a lot! The issue was that I didn’t go to engrave mode to modify the line…
