barline
Staff's vertical stroke
A barline is a vertical line drawn across a musical staff to mark the boundary between measures.
Barlines organize music into regular rhythmic units, helping performers track their place in the score.
Double barlines signal section changes; a thick final barline marks the end of a piece.
