I need to disable the command-shift-6 shortcut (capture Touch Bar) so I can use that key command in another application. How do I do that?
I can supposedly use keyboard shortcuts from the system preferences-keyboard-shortcuts, but that is not listed there.

OK, I figured it out!
I was using an external keyboard which, of course, doesn't have the Touch Bar.
When I disconnected it and used the native keyboard on my MBP, that option did show up. I've disabled it now, so I should be able to use that key combination in Finale.
Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it!

Go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Screenshots:
So long as you EITHER:
disable the "save picture of the touch bar" by unchecking the appropriate box,
OR
assign a different shortcut to this,
I expect that you will be able to assign Command-Shift-6 to something else.
Thanks, I obviously didn't make my question clear. I know how to use the basic keyboard shortcuts for taking a screenshot.
What I need to do is disable the key command "command-shift-6", which is currently assigned to "capture Touch Bar". I need to be able to use that combination in another application (music notation app Finale, for the record).
So, in order for me to *enable* "command-shift-6" for use in Finale, I have to *disable* it for use in screenshots.
When I open system preferences-keyboard-shortcuts, that particularly key combination is not listed as editable.
Does this help better explain my situation?
Thanks, you do appreciate the nature of my problem. Unfortunately, that option does not show up for me. Please see the attached screenshot.
Addendum: I just tried and it worked.
Note that to edit the shortcut you need to double-click it, and then type the new shortcut.
I was writing before you posted the answer.
Great to see that it is working.
