Changing barline styles

Here’s how to change barline styles using the Soundslice editor.

Standard barline styles

By default, Soundslice styles barlines as follows:

• The very last barline in the slice will be a final barline — with a thin-plus-thick line.
• Every other barline in the slice will be a normal barline.

Double barlines

To change a bar so that it ends in a double barline, select any note or rest within the bar, then:

• In editor’s top panel, open the “Bar” section and click the “Toggle double barline” icon .
• Or: Search the editor for “Toggle double barline.”

Dashed barlines

Dashed barlines are sometimes used to subdivide a measure. If a measure is subdivided by dashed barlines, Soundslice doesn’t treat the subdivisions as separate bars when it comes to bar numbering.

To insert a dashed barline within a bar:

• Select the first note or rest that would appear after the dashed barline.
• In editor’s top panel, open the “Bar” section and click the “Toggle dashed barline” icon . Or: Search the editor for “Toggle dashed barline.”

To remove a dashed barline:

• Click the first note or rest just after the dashed barline.
• You should see the “Dashed barline” icon in the current notations section. Click that icon to remove the dashed barline.

Repeat barlines

Repeats have their own help page.

How can I insert a barline in the middle of an existing bar?

We don’t have a direct way to do this, but follow these steps to do it:

1. Select any note or rest in that bar.
2. Add a bar to the right, using “Add bar (after selection)” in the top panel’s “Bar”s section.
3. Select all of the notes and rests you want to move into that new bar.
4. Use copy and paste to move them to the other bar.
