Denoting barred/capoed notes?
How do you enter barre notation like "CVII" with that right-angle line covering the lines being barred?
If I search for "line" under palettes, I see both "Staff" and "VII" with the line notation. However, the text is hard-coded and cannot be edited either by double-clicking, selecting edit element, or going to the inspector tab.
Is this just a bug or do people really use the hardcoded text "Staff" to denote something? I can't image how that would be useful.

If you enter Staff Text (Add / Text / Staff Text, shortcut Ctrl+T) or System Text (Add / Text / System Text, shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T) from the menu or from shortcuts, the text is editable by double-clicking.
However, if you use the Staff Text, System Text, or Text Line tools from the Lines palette, you have to select the line/text (yellow highlighter), go to the Properties tab (green) / Text tab (blue) and edit the Beginning text, Text when continuing to a new system, or End text (orange).
Note that if you select only one note/rest to attach the line to, the line itself has a length of 0. This displays the text with no line.
Look in the Guitar palette and you will see the VII right-angle line. Add it to your score. The VII is not hard-coded and can be changed in the 'Text' section of the Properties panel:

Ah, I didn't notice the little "Text" sub-tab under the Properties tab. That was it. Thanks.
It's tabs all the way down!
