What is a "bar line"?
A bar line is a vertical line drawn on the staff that divides a piece of music into sections called measures or bars. These lines help organize the music into manageable chunks, making it easier for musicians to read and follow the rhythm. Bar lines also assist in maintaining the structure and timing of the music by separating different rhythmic groupings and musical phrases. In addition to regular bar lines, there are special types, such as double bar lines, which indicate the end of a section, and final bar lines, which mark the end of a piece.
