Re: please help a newbie with partial measures

[Rose Mawhorter]

Maybe I spoke too soon. I've got the bar lines in the correct places now BUT the compiler rejects my slurs. Surely there must be a better way of doing this!
Thanks again.

Xavier,
Here's what I wrote to Phil. Is it really so simple as to add \bar "|" to the end of every line? I'm sorry if I bothered you all for that!
Thank you for your patience.
Rose
