In the attached file (bethena-23), you can see at measures 91 and 92 there are 1st and 2nd endings which display correctly in the main view. But in the Oboe Part, the 2nd ending is confused and extends to the end of the score.

I would expect that the 2nd ending extends only one measure in the Oboe part exactly as it does in the main score.

I'm using the following version. It was the most recent version available when I downloaded today.

Were the voltas created before generating parts or after? I can reproduce a number of issues with voltas when adding them after parts are generated. In fact, I can reproduce it with a simple example. Just create a part with two instruments, fill it with notes so there won't be any mmrests (a source of other bugs), generate parts, add a volta to the score, save, reload. Voltas will appear in the top part only.

Symptoms of your issue aren't identical, but I suspect the root cause is similar.

And yes, I suspect the invisible top staff is why the symptoms differ. But I'd still like to know when the voltas were created relative to the parts - in other words, steps to recreate the problem from scratch.

Hi Marc, the volts were created before the parts were created. But after creating the parts I deleted some of the voltas. Why, I think some of the piece (as written by Joplin) was too repetitive. So I deleted some of the 1st endings. I did notice that this often confused musescore. For example, if the piece has several sections each with 1st/2nd endings, and I removed one of the 1st endings, all the voltas in the piece became invisible. I didn't try to reproduce this, but I did notice it.

That brings up a different subject. Often when playing music live, we like to skip 1st endings and skip certain repeats. It would be nice to be able to mark the score to be played in this manner, without having to actually delete measures.

Here is a clear set of steps to reproduce the problem I mention in #4

1) new score for two flutes
2) fill first three measures of each part with with notes (not necessary to reproduce problem, but it helps show the problem is not related to mmrests)
3) generate parts
4) add volta to measure 3
5) view the parts

Result: volta appears in top part only
Expect result: it appears in both parts

Status (old) patch (ready to commit) fixed

The problem with voltas not propagating is fixed in https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/b895fde6006a63faa530f9842…

I am closing this issue even though the original problem report lists other symptoms, because the posted score was created with a much earlier build and I don't know that it is possible to reproduce the problem in a score created scratch. Of course, I don't know that it *isn't* possible, either. It might well be a bug involving the invisible staves and/or the fact that the volta in the score extends multiple systems. But I can't reproduce it in the simple case I tried.
