Increase Size of Barlines
It is difficult to see the current size of the "repeat barlines". I found information about increasing the thickness of the barline by going to Edit General Style > Barlines but in my version 1.3 there are no options listed to make any changes. Anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks

Difficult to see on paper?
Or on the screen?
If the latter then Zoom is your friend :)
YOu can either zoom in or out with CTRL + mouse scrollwheel or use the Zoom menu located between the undo/redo buttons and the Enable sound while editing button
Yes, I think you are judging by size on screen, don't worry - that's just an artifact of the resizing that goes on. Printer they should look fine already. But FWIW, MuseScore 2.0 will allow more customizaion of the appearance of barlines.

I'm referring to the printed page not the screen view. I know I can zoom in on the screen. I'm providing printed charts to my band but they keep missing the repeat bar lines because they are so small. I need to increase the printed size.

I would suggest looking at the way your printer is set - you may be printing at too low a resolution.

Could you post a PDF that shows what you are talking about? I'm wondering if you are doing something incorrectly or if something is wrong on your system, because normally, the repeats should be a very standard size and as easy to see as repeats in any published music you might ever encounter. If you are producing charts for jazz musicians, they are often accustomed to seeing "winged" repeats, and MuseScore provides that option as well via Style / Edit General Style / Barlines.

Perhaps you are looking for something like this:

Click on the image above to expand it.
Use menu item: Layout / Page Settings / Scaling and increase the Space setting to enlarge the printed size - the change will show on your monitor, and also when printed.

Thanks. This might do it if it doesn't increase the number of pages significantly. I use winged repeat barlines and my printer resolution is set correctly. I still curious about the information regarding thickening the barline by setting the General Style. I've attached this information, however, I do not have these options to adjust the settings. Thanks again.

That screenshot is from an experimental development build. As I mentioned, 2.0 will have these expanded controls; they are not in the current version.
