Description
How could this be useful?
-
It makes it simple to hide a barline across the entire system!
(Currently you have to select all separate bits of the barline and press "v".) -
MuseScore will eventually need a Macro
to split a system in the middle of a bar, like you have in Sibelius:
Since MuseScore does this via splitting bars,
an invisible barline could be very useful to simplify this process.

Research direction
