Final stroke (musical notation)
The final line is a special form of bar line as the final character in music notation , which indicates the end of a piece of music. A self-contained part of a larger musical work, such as a movement or an act of a music-dramatic work, is closed by a line.
The final line has the form of two vertical, closely spaced lines, the second of which is slightly thicker and is usually at the very end of the staff .
The line marks the end of the sounding piece of music, but does not necessarily have to be at the end of the notated piece of music. For example, in da capo arias in the form A - B - A, the line at the end of the A section to be repeated but notated only once. Usually the end is also marked by the word Fine and / or a fermata above the line. At the end of the B section, however, there is a single double line and the instructions to play da capo (DC) .
