The staff group barline style object

Type: String

This encodes a strategy for how barlines should be connected across staves.

Allowed values:

Value Description
"individual" Barlines are not connected across staves. Barlines are only drawn within each individual staff.

Notation example
"instrument" Barlines are only connected within staves that correspond to the same MNX part. For example, piano music with a grand staff (two staves) will generally connect the two staves with a shared barline.

This behaves the same as "individual" except for MNX parts that have a "staves" value greater than 1.

Notation example
"mensurstrich" Barlines are always connected, across all staves, in the Mensurstrich style. In this style, the lines aren't drawn within the five-line staff, but rather only between the staves.

Notation example
"unified" Barlines are always connected, across all staves.
