Bug description
With the Show barlines box unchecked, the left/start repeat sign remains visible — whereas right/end repeat sign/barline and double barlines, and regular barlines, vanish. I didn't test other barline types.
Steps to reproduce
- Right click a staff.
- Choose Staff/Part Properties
- Uncheck "Show barlines"
- Click OK or Apply.
Result: all barlines vanish from the staff, except the left/start repeat sign.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore by opening Staff/Part Properties, clearing “Show barlines,” and checking a staff with a left/start repeat sign. Trace the barline rendering and visibility handling for repeat signs; done means the start repeat sign is hidden consistently with regular, end-repeat, and double barlines, with relevant tests or manual verification passing.
