- Create the music normally (with barlines).
- From the Document menu, choose Document Options 
 and select Barlines. The Barlines options appear.
Note. To hide the 
 meter in such a document, see Hiding 
 time signatures.
        
            - Click Display All Barlines so that the X disappears. 
 Click OK. Note, however, that Finale “thinks” in measures, even 
 if you’re creating scores with no barlines.
