As noted in the above post, the horizontal frame is not visible with single line (e.g., percussion) staff because the default frame width is too narrow. One has to increase the staff to more than one line to be able to select and adjust the parameters of the inserted horizontal frame. To create, append a horizontal frame to a single-line measure.

Also relates to #290410: Barlines on a 1 line percussion staff. The easiest way to fix all of these issues is probably to treat a 1 line staff as though it is a 3 line staff, but with only the middle line being visible. The invisible top and bottom lines would become the new boundaries for all layout calculations (barline height, frame height, playback highlighting, stave separation, etc).

Workaround No ⇒ Yes

I doubt anyone has looked at it. But the workaround seems simple enough - temporarily add another staff or increase number of lines.
