Xavier, Here's what I wrote to Phil. Is it really so simple as to add \bar "|" to the end of every line? I'm sorry if I bothered you all for that! Thank you for your patience. Rose
A scan would be difficult at the moment. I've included below a compilable song. Let me try to explain better. If you look at my syntax you can see where I would like the bar lines to fall. What I'm struggling with is that the compiler doesn't seem to want to place my bar lines where I specified. If I remove the \partial 2 line from the global settings it will at least place bar lines through out the song (which won't do with the \partial 2) but not where I want them to be. Here's a link to a song that follows the same type of pattern: http://www.hymnary.org/hymn/THEH/510 . If I were inputting this song I would be stumped over how to add the bar line at the end of the first three lines.
