Wrong barline expansion mechanism

[lgvr123]

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Impossible to expand a barline to above staves.

1. Add a barline in a lower staff
2. Try to expand that barline to upper staves

There is no drag handle above the barline and hence it is not possible to expand it upward.

The workaround is to move that staff as the first staff, then expand downward, and then reposition the staff in its right place.

Maybe adding a barline should add it to all staves (unless like when pressing Ctrl, similar to local key- and time sigs). Then extending it top to bottom wouldn't be a problem Actually like when splitting the measure

Basically reversing the current behavoir, so that applying a barline splits the measure, but together with Ctrl applies local only, same/similar as key- and time sig work

This would be interesting but would also not be possible in some cases, as adding a barline within a tuplet. They are may be other cases where it wouldn't work.

Not really different from how it is now, my proposal just makes the behavior consistent
