A very important feature for me that exists in Encore or iReal Pro is the ability to put a double bar to the LEFT of a measurement. This is absolutely necessary to visualize the sections of a song and at the beginning of a staff.
In jazz we usually write harmonic grids with 4 or 8 bars per staff and the double bar at the beginning is crucial.
For the moment I have worked around the problem by inserting a transparent PNG image of this double bar in my bar palette. The problem is that I have to refocus it on the staff each time.

I noticed that this double bar was not planned in Musescore 4, is it possible to hope for its insertion in the final version? I suppose that the programming of this option should not be complicated!
Thank you in advance for considering this request and congratulations for the development of this excellent software!

Actually this works fine in current versions of MuseScore (3.6.2) as well as in current builds of MuseScore 4- just select the system barline and then click the double barline in the palette.

If you have a specific score where this doesn't s=work, please attach it and give precise steps to reproduce the problem.
