Don't know what you call it!!!!
I have an introduction in a piece of music I am using for Youth Theatre where the intro plays twice but the note for voice 1 comes into the introduction and is therefore played twice, once at the end of the first play through and then, correctly at the end of the second play through and into the first verse. Is it possible to silence the voice note on the first play through of the introduction, but have it sound in the second?
Grateful for any genius out there who can help!

Ciao Nigsy1, as I understand it:
Add an instrument and then use the hide empty staves function (Style/General.../Score)

Thank you for your help. I am a very new user of Muse Score, probably best said, a useless user, so I am still at a loss. Could you explain a little more please? Thank you so much.

I think Shoichi seems to missunderstand your needs here. If not, you'd find more details at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/layout-and-formatting#style-edit-gene…
You musicians will know how to deal with it with a proper staff text "voice 1 on 2nd round only" or "voice 1 tacet on 1st round" or some such.
If you want MuaseScore to play it back like that, you'd have to 'unroll' the repeats.

Explain what, staff text? See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-and-system-text#staff-text.
'Unroll' repeats? Add more measures, copy paste the existing ones, remove the repeat bars, remove the notes you don't want to sound in the 1st part

In other words, you cannot have a repeat that play differently each time - it all has to be written out.

Yes, exactly ;-)
Hi,
I think what you need is voltas. See here:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/volta
Add a volta 1 and 2 and make them look the same, except that you add the note(s) for "voice 1" only into volta 2.

Maybe, but voltas only work at the end of a repeat, not the start.
Have a look at this:
Here's how it plays:
