Dan, did you mean to say that the barline would be created to the right of the note that was selected? After all, if the note is created to the left, it would mean that the select note would be the first note of the new exercise instead fo the last note of the exercise as desired. Alison, 1. Select the last note or rest in the last bar of the first exercise. 2. Now create a bar line by going to Create > Bar line > Final bar line. 3. The bar line will be added to the left of the note that was selected, i.e. at the end of the bar. 4. The bar line will be selected. Do not move away from it because you need the bar line to be select in order to create the system break. 5. Now create the system break by going to Layout > Breaks > System break. The bar which comes after the bar line and system break will now be on the left side of the page at the start of a new system. You can choose any type of bar line you like in step 2 but final bar lines are best in these kinds of situations because they make it clear that the music has finished. Double bar lines are normally only used to mark the start of new sections or key changes.
