Musical Bar Lines

Good morning everyone, I'll be discussing on Musical Bar Line.

Musical Bar Line is a vertical line that divides the song in intervals of same length of time, with the purpose to organize the structure and make the orientation to the musician easier. Bar lines are placed on the musical staff to separate the divisions of time. It is used to build a musical staff. Examples are shown below.

The vertical line draw in the image above represents the musical Bar lines. 

From the image above, we can see the we have the musical staff, Clef, time signature, notes & bar lines. The musical bar line has divided the musical staff. Following the time signature (4/4) in each staff, it says 4 crotchet beats in each bar. The musical bar lines help group beats into patterns and help organize the writing and reading of music for both the composer and the performer.

Five types of bar lines give you directions on how the music is structured, when and where to repeat, and when to stop:



Single: Go on to the next measure.

Double: Proceed to the next section (because you’ve reached the end of this one!).

Start repeat: Repeat back to this measure.

End repeat: Repeat back to the measure that begins with a start repeat (or to the beginning if you don’t see a start repeat).

Final: You’ve reached the end! Stop playing!
