Your idea
When entering a key change, MuseScore should have a preference (off by default?) to create a double barline before the new key, as is conventional in traditional notations.
Problem to be solved
At present I have to go back to each key change and add the double barline manually. In other applications, this can be created automatically saving time. As some people prefer not to have this happen automatically, it should be a preference setting that can be on or off.
Prior art
Sibelius inserts these automatically as extra elements, rather than as part of rendering, so they can be individually deleted if desired.
Additional context
Discussed on MuseScore forums (https://musescore.org/en/node/302860) but I couldn't find an issue for this. The approach described, creating the double barline as part of the addition of a key change, seems much more flexible than trying to automatically render them during layout.
