Hi. Is it possible to put a double bar line at both the end of a system and at the beginning of the next measure?
Thanks.

You make the double bar at the end of the system in the normal way.

If you want a double bar immediately after the clef(s) then the only way I know to do this is :

1. Insert a small rest at the beginning of the bar.
2. While the rest is selected, use Create > Barlines > Double to put a double bar line just after the rest.
3. Use the X setting in Properties Window > General to move the bar line back to the other side of the rest.
4. Now you should be able to insert the actual notes you want.
