Repeat sign midway through bar
Hi there, I have the most recent version of MuseScore (3.0.4.5763).
I have a piece in 2/4 that starts with a quaver anacrusis, which I have excluded from the bar count. I want to put a repeat sign in the 12th bar, after 3 quavers, not at the end of the bar. How can I achieve this?
Thanks for any advice.

Thank you, Shoichi. This part solves my problem - but it gives me only a Start or End repeat, and I need one to go both ways, as in screengrabs below. Is this possible?

Put a start repeat on the note/rest just after and an end repeat on the note/rest just before the place you want it.

Thank you, Louis, but MuseScore doesn't allow this (or I can't make it work). When I follow your instructions, and click on the 3rd quaver (as I want the start repeat just after it), MuseScore puts the start repeat before it. If I click on the 4th quaver, the end repeat is in the right place, but I can't put the repeats together, back-to-back, as in the photo of the professionally printed part.
Thanks for any further advice.

You need to add both repeats to same barline. That is, first split the bar - thus giving you a new regular barline - then apply both the start and end repeat to that same barline.
If you continue to have trouble, please attach your actual score, not just a picture of it.

Curiously, MuseScore 2.3.2 had this double repetition bar line.
Now, in MuseScore 3.0.4, I can not to find it, even in the Master palette.
Can we create it? How?

As mentioned, just add the start and end separately. That's all the old fake one in the palette ever was anyhow (as you can see if you try to add it at the start or end of a system).

It's not really a trick but common sense? :)

Thank you, Marc. Of course, I was approaching the problem from the point of view of the repeat sign, rather than realizing I had to split the bar first.
Thanks again for great support and superb notation software.
