I would like to receive an alert upon the close of 20 Tick Range Bar. Is there any way to do that other the Color based bar study if I just want to hear the Alert when a range bar closes and need see the bar change color.

If I do use the Color based bar study, is there a way to not color the bar upon close and just place hash mark through it or something else up bar close. I want to see whether the bar is red or green based on whether it closes above or below the open.

Set SG1 to Draw Style Ignore. Set the alert to anything that always evaluates to true and check evaluate on bar close and set an alert sound.

Could make the formula C>=O for green bars, and a second instance of the study for C<O for red bars and have different alerts sounds like "red bar" or "green bar" if you were to create those .wav files.
