How to make simple repeats play correctly when they are inside a DS Al Coda loop?
I have a score structure like below, where M1 means measure number 1:
M1: something
M2: Segno
M3: Left repeat sign
M4: Right repeat sign
M5: To Coda
M6: DS Al Coda
M7: something
This is an over-simplified version. There are more measures in between the above. The order that the music should play is:
M1 > M2 > M3 > M4 > M3 > M4 > M5 > M6 > M2 > M3 > M4 > M3 > M4 > M5 > M7
But when actually played back, I just get this:
M1 > M2 > M3 > M4 > M3 > M4 > M5 > M6 > M2 > M3 > M4 > M5 > M7
There is a > M3 > M4 missing.
I tried to look at the staff properties for M3 and M4 (the simple repeats) but I don't see anything that I could use.
Can anybody help? Thanks!

Select "DS al Coda" and check the box 'Play Repeats' in inspector.

You are missing a Coda for the "Go to Coda" to aim for. Presumably it should go on Measure 7.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/repeats-and-jumps and if that doesn't help come back with a sample score and full details of what you are trying to achieve.

I assumed, there is a Coda marker because the questions belongs only to the missing repeat of M3 and M4 after the segno jump. So I assumed the coda jump was working. Of course, a coda marker is necessary in M7.

I have learned through many painful experiences - never assume :-)

LOL. That's true again!

Thanks both of you for your help! You were both correct.
