Tips for deleting repeat barlines and symbols
Deleting barlines represented by numbered endings should be done carefully so as not to mess up their underlying logic.

Deleting barlines at the END of a system
Deleting barlines at the END of a system creates a special problem. Deleting a barline at the end of a system will cause the last measure of the system to roll over to the next system. So if a barline at the end of a system needs to be deleted do the following:
Insert a single barline just to the left of an ending barline. Go ahead and delete the ending barline. Notice the new barline moves to the end of the system and the last measure will remain in place and not roll over.
