How do you set the number of times a score plays from start to finish on playback?

You can loop playback indefinitely, see:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/play-mode#loop

If using start/end repeat barlines, see:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/repeats-and-jumps#simple-repeats
and:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/repeats-and-jumps#adjust_repeat_pla…
see #2 for "Play count".

Thanks for your help. I already know how to loop indefinitely and how to use barline repeats. However, I downloaded a score which plays all the way through three times then stops and I can't figure out how this is achieved.

Well, without actually seeing the score, it's even more difficult for someone here to figure it out. ;-)

Sorry. Didn't think it was necessary to attach score. Here it is.

Right click the last measure. Then, in Measure Properties observe 'Play count' setting to 3.

See:

In my version of MuseScore it's called "Bar Properties" but the idea is the same. It looks like I set it to 3 myself some time ago and forgot how I did it. (Old age!) Thanks again for all your help.

"bar" is the British version of the US term "measure"

Ahhh ... which also explains why I have been having difficulty understanding some instructions.
