edit text size, font
In measure 9 I text in the number 2 to indicate repeating twice. How do I edit that "2" so it's the same size and font as the "1". In version 2 and 3 I think that was easy but I can't find it in 4.
Or... is the 1,2 available somewhere?
Or... should I stick in the "2" with something other than Add, text, staff?
Thanks
John

Volta values are all managed and edited in the Properties panel.
Once the volta line is selected, it is a bit confusing, because the actions to get to the relevant field do vary:
- to change the displayed text: Click "Appearance", click the Text tab, Volta > edit "Beginning text"
- to change the repeat list: on default Style tab, Volta > edit "Repeat list"

I discovered that if I select my "2" and click it a handy window opens that allows me to edit the "2" in all respects. That window, apparently, isn't selectable in any other way.
Thanks for the tips

Now you are confusing me... The "2" in the score attached to your first post is a separate Staff Text - not linked to the Volta line in any way. That's entirely the wrong way to go about changing the Volta properties.
Concentrate on using the Properties panel for the Volta line, as explained in my earlier reply.

In addition, the correct value for the play count of measure 9 is missing. For three repeats, the value must be 3.
And of course the repeat list of Volta 1 must have the value "1,2".

See my modifications in the attached file (done with MuS 3.7).
The displayed text is only intended for the musician and has no effect on the playback in MuseScore.

Yeah the Volta thing was kind of confusing and I was only interested in how it looked. It's a score for the conductor. I'll go try your recommendation now. It works a lot better. Thanks

I tried for About 40 minutes to do your thing and came up with the attached. It looks nice but doesn't play at all.

The wrong value is still in the field for the play count for measure 12 Open the measure properties and correct it. The value '3' must be there instead of '2' because the repetitions must be performed three times.

And you have inadvertently set more than one volta 1 (I think three) for measure 12.
First delete them all and set only one volta 1.
Then open the properties and change the text (for the musician/conductor) and the volta repeat list. Write "1,2" there.
