Re: double bar at beginning

Well, thanks for your reply. Changing the order enables the use of \bar ".|" at 
the beginning of the staff, yes. Great, that is perfect for another thing that 
i had also in mind, but what i really want in this case is to use a double bar 
"||" instead of the bar ".|" Is it possible?


I search the effect of a few compasses which starts with a \bar "||" and ends 
with a \bar "||" I didn't think it would be so complicated :o|


||------|------|------||
||------|------|------||
||------|------|------||
||------|------|------||
||------|------|------||
||------|------|------||



Thanks and regards,
