The staff group barline style object | MNX specification

# The staff group barline style object

Type: String

This encodes a strategy for how barlines should be connected across staves.

## Allowed values:

Value | Description
--- | ---
"individual" | Barlines are not connected across staves. Barlines are only drawn within each individual staff.
"instrument" | Barlines are only connected within staves that correspond to the same MNX part. For example, piano music with a grand staff (two staves) will generally connect the two staves with a shared barline. This behaves the same as "individual" except for MNX parts that have a "staves" value greater than 1.
"mensurstrich" | Barlines are always connected, across all staves, in the Mensurstrich style. In this style, the lines aren't drawn within the five-line staff, but rather only between the staves.
"unified" | Barlines are always connected, across all staves.
