Barlines between staves

[ceg]

A silly question which is hopefully easy to answer but...

How do I stop Sibelius (7) from joining together the barlines between adjacent staves?

I've a piece for 2 cello's and keyboard and I'd like to produce a part containing both cello parts, but joined together only at the far left hand side, but Sibelius is insisting on joining the barlines of the two parts together, which then hampers where I can put text.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

You may not be able to stop Sibelius from creating the bar line. You probably can easily change it. I don't have Sib 7, but using Sib 6.2, I click the hot spot of the bar line at the top of the upper staff, and drag it down.

Hmm... I cannot remember how I have changed this but on one hand it depends on the instrument-family and on the other hand on the brackets at the beginning. I will have a look tonight...
