D.C Al Coda and Coda
Writing a score that has multiple repeats like 7 or so and at the end a D.C Al coda to go to the beginning.
However, the repeats including voltas are all skipped when going back to the beginning, instead it just chugs along and skips it all until it reaches Coda.

It is a normal convention in Music Notation that voltas ARE NOT active after a DS or DC.

True. But not uncommon to want to override this, either. More flexibile routing options would be a nice enhancement someday. But of course, as a playback-only feature, it's not likely top be a very high priority any time soon.

I know, I over-ride this often in charts. I put specific instructions at the top and bottom of each section. Adds clutter, but ...

Voltas ARE active! You should mark them properly. Nothing prevents you from putting number 1 in the first volta and number 2 and 3 in the second volta, if the repeat is omitted after DC or DS. And if you're supposed to do the repeat after DC or DS, put number 1 and 3 in the first volta and number 2 and 4 in the second volta. If that's too ugly, simply add "con rep" or "senza rep" after the DC/DS thing.
What MuseScore does in playback is certainly NOT a convention, namely playing through everything like there were no repeats or voltas at all.

I was referring to common notational practice, not playback limitations.
Was trying to minimize number of pages to 4-5, it'll probably have to be more as the the other 3 pages have to be duplicated
if the voltas won't repeat, it just seems really redundant. It would be great if in the D.C al coda options has a "honour voltas" or something like that.
Thanks again.

I have found sometimes that it is possible to use voltas where I thought DCs or DSs seemed to be necessary. I had to change my way of thinking.
Good luck.
Adding con rep, voltas are numbered already.
