Trouble with playback repeats
Hello, I am having trouble with playing back a piece which basically has the structure A-B-B-A.
I attach the piece, which is a truncated version of a Monterverdi Duet.
Monteverdi - Trial.mscz
I have juggled around with jumps and repeats ad infinitum and thought I had solved it but if you playback the attached file it does exactly what I want UNTIL the final A4 which it just fails to play.
So, my wished-for order of playing is A1-A2-A3-B1-B2-B1-B2-B3-A2-A4 and it is failing to do the A4. Can you help?

Score got created (or last saved) with MuseScore 2.1, 2.2(.1) does contain playback improvements for voltas and repeats, so give that a try
OTO that A4 is more like a Coda, isn't it?
Something like the attached?

Having given it a quick try - it seems to do the job, except that it jumps back to A1 not A2, but I wil attempt to remedy that.
It will be useful to see how your links are working. I am a practicing musician but rather hazy on the repeat instruction rules!
Many thanks

Ooops, I use D.C. al Coda rather than D.S. al Coda

Thanks, yes, I've changed that and it works. I am still confused though.
Eg, within the DS al Coda there are 3 check boxes
"jump to segno"
"play until coda" (what is defined by the 'coda'?)
"continue at codab"
and I'm puzzled by this myriad of instructions.
And where on earth is the label 'coda' referred to by the "To Coda" instruction?
Sorry for my confusion.

Sorry, of course I understand what and where the Coda is, it is the labelling which is throwing me.

FYI, the labelling is used so you can have more than one D.S. al coda section if you want. Each section needs unique labels.
