D.C. being ignored second time through..
Hi All;
Please excuse my unorthodox score. This is my play-notes. I'm dyslexic and the less I have on the printed page, the more I can see and understand.
Another liberty that I've taken is to change “D.C.” to “D.C.(par)” to remind me to “Play All Repeats).
OK, when I playback these play-notes, first time it goes through it plays as I want it to sound. When I reach line-7, the D.C.(par) , it goes to line-1 as expected. But unlike the first time through, when it hits the D.C.(par) at the end of line-5 it does not go back to line-1. It just carries on as though the D.C.(par) wasn't even there.
So, is there a way to “force” it to do the D.C.(par) once again as I had hoped?
Thank you..

Jumps are always only taken once. The
par(or "con rep.") only means that it should take simple repeats (|:...:| rather than only their last round.I'm puzzled that the 2 jumps at the end of the score do work

Since they are at the same location, their execution order is not guaranteed.

Ok, that's what I thought.
I'm not quite sure if I understood you correctly.
If so, see attachment.
I removed D.C.(par) at line 5 and added instead a end repeat bar.

Yes, that might work, but repeats don't nest

Unfortunately it works not as probably expected: after the repeat at line 5 the repeat in 3 isn't done again.
Perhaps he needs to unroll parts of it.
Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. Sorry for taking so long getting back to them but the time-differences often gets in the way. When it's daytime here it's nighttime there. I also put in a some time practicing for my weekly flute playing for the kids at the park.
I use M/sc play-back/play-along option as a helper to get me over my dyslexic challenges and so I try to make the play-notes as close to what i want my final result to sound like. Yes, so It's important to me... But if it can't be done, I'll find a way around it.
Last line - I've used the "stacked D.C." often in quite a few of my play-notes and they have never failed me. I'm surprised to hear that there might another problem there...
Hmmmm, the mysteries of M/sc?

It's not that "stacked D.C." doesn't work; it does. It's just that there is no standard rule about how to interpret it.
What I mean is, currently MuseScore executes them in the order it encountered them in its file format.
But since there is no standardization of both the interpretation as well as the internal file format there is no guarantee that it'll continue to do so in the future. Yes, it'll still attempt to execute all of them, but not necessarily in the same order.
As long as all your jump instructions are identical, there's not much to worry about, since the order of executing them becomes irrelevant. However if you for example have a "D.C. con rep" and a "D.S. al Fine" set, which currently execute in that order... and in a future version, for some arbitrary reason it could be that MuseScore executes the "D.S. al Fine" first, thus likely never reaching the "D.C. con rep" anymore.

Thanks for the explanation, it's all clear now. I think I can live with that as I only need it to work while I'm learning a tune. After that it's only a "standard" score hard copy in my music book and play-along / play-back are no longer required.
