The non-emptiness, called the Domino Problem, and the characterization of the possible entropies of $ \mathbb{Z}^2 $-subshifts of finite type are standard problems of symbolic dynamics. In this article we study these questions with horizontal constraints fixed beforehand as a parameter. We determine for which horizontal constraints the Domino Problem is undecidable and when all right-recursively enumerable numbers can be obtained as entropy, with two approaches: either the additional local rules added to the horizontal constraints can be of any shape, or they can only be vertical rules.
