Vertical line between staves

Sometimes a music sheet exists of pairs of staves with (at irregular places) vertical lines between those staves. These are not Bar Lines which I can get with Tab. These lines are shorter and do not go across the staves themselves.

Is it possible to add these lines to my Noteworthy-music?

I'm not sure what you're describing, but see if using extra staffs in between would help.  The uppermost extra would be set to lines = 0, orchestral, lower vertical size 6.  The middle one would be lines = 0 orchestral, upper and lower size = 1,  and the third one would be the same, except upper and lower sizes = 15.  The original top and bottom staffs just have ordinary settings, including style = standard.

Put bar lines in the three extra staffs and they will extend to, but not cross the lines of, the original staffs.

I don't have time to double check, got to leave for work, but you might have to play with the vertical size of the bottom original staff too.

You can also place vertical lines as "text." These do not function in the music, but print on the page.

If you do not want to use a custom user font, try using the vertical bar that comes in any ordinary font. You can make it appear longer by stacking several of them at various staff positions, provided that they are aligned identically (do not use "reserve width").
