Playing back with repeats
Hello, I hope you can help me. I made a piano arrangiment for Carol of the Bells and for some reason every time I try to play it the program doesn't take the repeats or first and second endings. I am updated to the newest version.

You only need to post in one forum. Most people like me see all of the forum posts on one page.
There are a few reasons the repeats don't work. If you attach your score (the .mscz file) to your reply, I or someone will look at it and explain what you did wrong.

If you double click the voltas, especially volta 1, you will see that the red dotted anchor line is attached to the end of the first measure covered by the volta. Even though you double clicked the line and made it look longer, it still only affected that one isolated measure. If a volta 1 does not end at a repeat, the volta is ignored. The proper way to apply the volta is to select all 4 measures you want it to cover and double click it in the palette. You have done the same thing with volta 2, but it only looks ugly and does not affect playback.

That's no longer true since MuseScore 2.2. In his file, you'll notice that the 1 measure (41) that is effectively spanned by the volta1 is indeed skipped upon repeat.
But yes, only visually extending the line rather than changing the anchor point is the underlying issue here. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/lines for more info on how to correctly add and change the length of a line.

Toolbar is across the top of your screen, just below the menu bar. The repeats button is toward the right hand side, second icon to the right of the Play button.
