Repeat nesting
I copied the attached score from a
hand-written score a friend made for me.
I believe there shouldn’t be nested repeats like this.
Shouldn’t I use “go to sign” for one of them?

Right, nested repeats won't playback properly in MuseScore and also are likely to throw real musicians off track

Would you be willing to fix it in the
best way related to the repeats
not changing how it's intended to repeat?
You are correct. The set up is nonsensical to me. I'm not sure what the expectation of the voltas is. I think that the outer repeat should be a D.S. al coda with the signo at the second repeat start barline, the to coda just before the outer volta 1 and the coda on the measure that starts the outer volta "END"
The first start repeat barline make no sense. The beat before each end repeat barline obviously belongs to the second start repeat barline. Perhaps your friend can explain his plan for playing.
I have made the changes I described in the attached copy.

I find the intention of the repeats quite clear: the 1 and 2 with a D7 are linked to the the inner part beginning with a D7 and the final 1 and 2 refers to the full score (and these final 1 and 2 don't bring much except the fact that if you repeat the score you begin by e-g the second time instead of the single c.

That's the reason you don't nest returns like that, you get different interpretations from different musicians.

I inserted D.S. replacing the outer repeat.
Not quite good enough because
after doing the D.S. and then passing the repeat barline. it
doesn’t use the #1 line so it doesn’t repeat in the interlude.
How should I change it?

If you want volta 1 to play, then move the to coda inside the volta before the repeat.

I am too unlearned to understand.
I don't have "to coda"
Please e more complete.

Sorry, I didn't look at your score the fist time. You can't make it play the volta 1 on the D.S. section. D.S. causes all repeats to be skipped. You will need to make a coda and add those measure to the coda to make it play those measures. The coda would be all of the measures you want played after the D.S. al coda. Change the D.S. to D.S. al Coda and place a To Coda before the first volta 1 and eliminate the second volta 1. Make sure you place a coda sign where the coda begins.
