Playback multiple verses
I have a question about MuseScore that I'm sure will be easy for experts. I have entered a hymn style piece into MuseScore that I would like my choir to learn and perform. It has lyrics to four verses and when I create the MP3 for choir members to practice, I do not see how to cause the playback to occur for the four verses unless I use a Repeat, which I prefer not to do. I cannot find anything in tutorials or How To podcasts or the handbook. Can someone teach me the trick? Thanks in advance!

If you don't use a repeat in the score, then just play the MP3 four times.
-OR-
Notate all 4 verses "unrolled" and then export as MP3.

Well, if you want the verse to repeat 4 times but do not wish to use a repeat in the score, you can notate one verse and copy/paste it 3 times into additional measures.
Create the score with the repeat, export to MP3, then delete the repeat and save/print the score.

Alternative method with more work involved depending on score layout:
Add the repeat, mark it invisible
Add normal barline symbols from the master palette to the invisible repeat barline.

So, use a repeat then.

Thanks everyone. I'll give these a try.
All,
I ended up saving a copy of my score; added the repeats; changed the Play Count to 4; saved the copied score; and exported to MP3. Perfect! Thanks to all.

Yes. That's what I did, but on a separate copy of the score that I just created for purposes of the MP3 for home practice by the choir members. The hardcopy for choir folders appears as a hymn with four verses.

I give up on this one.
