These six horizontal lines were imported into Inkscape. I would like to delete the lowest line. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi.

Check your attached file. There is only a text object within written with Helsinki Special Std font. Cannot see any Drum Legend depicted as written in the document title.

Hi Lazur, thank you so much!

I didn't realise the lines were a text object. Knowing this, I was able to 'convert object to path' and use the 'edit paths by nodes' tool to remove that unwanted sixth line.

I am so grateful! :)

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, I never saw anything but one text object!  And it wasn't text actually, but a couple of black squares, touching at one corner.

But I'm glad it solved your problem!  That's the most important part  :)

Glad it worked.

Not having the mentioned font installed here -and probably there too- with windows it's probably a fallback font what is displayed (as a fallback font is rendered for the basic "sans-serif").

The character was , which is
U+F02E : <private-use-F02E>,

seems to be an invalid character.

Although, some fonts are supporting it, including
Webdings:



Mystery solved.
