Heya!
I have a small problem in that I'm trying to harmonize a bach choral, and it has to be in a particular layout, which happens to look quite similar to a set of piano staffs, where the bar lines continue from the treble staves to the bass staves (the line goes through the white bit in the middle). I'd prefer to use the choir instrument though so I can get a better idea of what it would sound like when I play it back, however the bar lines on the choir instrument don't go across the white bit in the middle of the treble and bass staves. Is there anyway I can get the choir instrument to just have a continuous bar staff?
I hope that made sense
Thanks!!!

If you Shift+Left Click on any bar line of a staff, a little box will appear on all the bar lines at the bottom of that staff. You can then drag that box down to extend the line(s) to as many staves as you like.
Hope this helps.
Be Well,
Jimmy

You need to insert the last barline by hand, I'm afraid.dircules wrote:But what I want is this:
Use the existing Vertical Line (from the Lines Menu) for the thin line, and make a New line, based on Vertical Line, with a Line Width of 0.51 for the heavy part of the final barline.
After all, that's way better than editing the score in Photopaint / Photoshop, or whatever... one of the many improvements Sibelius would need.
However, thanks a lot for your care, Sebasian, now I got a 'vertical thick line' in my lines menu, and you even figured out the line size for me

Ok, I'm trying to do the same thing as dircules. I selected "choral reduction" to set up the score, because I have text between the staves, but I want my barlines to go all the way through both staves at the ends of systems and at repeat signs, final barlines, etc.
I'm working on fixing this issue on a repeat sign. I used a vertical line from the line menu to connect the thin line through both staves, but I'm having trouble getting the thicker dark line of the repeat sign to go through both staves:
I don't know how to get 0.51 thickness.
Any help? Thank you! Thank you!

Try the following (Follow the steps in the image)
The line will initially be quite short, but by zooming in you will be able to drag the top and bottom to suit.
