Can't make D.C al Fine work as intended
I don't know why but whatever I do, Fine is ignored regardless. Here is my score:

Am I doing something wrong or is it bugged ?

Set Play Repeats on the D.S. al Fine in Inspector, else the 1St Volta isn't taken, so the Fine not seen.

Yeah I'm aware of that and it's already set. It goes into the 1st Volta after the return to the beginning but doesn't stop at Fine. My understanding is that the repeat sign at the end of 1st Volta prioritized and thus Fine is ignored. You can download the score and check the behavior.

Schade, perhaps someone else might help me then. It is also possible to listen to it from the link I posted by the way, though there is no need I've already described what happens when I play it. Sounds like a bug or am I missing something else similar to set play repeats ?

Any jump inside of a volta is ignored. You need to use d.c. al coda and put the to coda before the volta and rewrite the measures to be played again in the coda.

I thank all of you, it worked like a charm.

AFAIK it isn't common in music notation to add a Fine to a Volta 1. And play repeats means play repeats (the first an the second volta).
So indeed you've to add D.S. al coda, a "to coda" and a measure with a coda sign at the end of your score.
(Not sure, but maybe I saw a similar discussion some time ago to implement it)

Hi I see you a lot when i'm looking up this particular problem so perhaps you can help me. You see i'm writing a score for the song "Hey Look Ma, I made It" by Panic at The Disco. I'm trying shorten it too make it easier to fit in a flip folder. So I make use of the D.S. al Fine and the segno sign because I want to jump from the middle of my piece towards the ending for a different phrase. But it doesn't seem to work, I don't want to post my work because I don't own the rights to the song and don't really understand how that works. But the D.S al Fine sign is supposed to happen the second time around after a repeat sign and it would go to segno which starts at the end of the end repeat sign. The repeat signs seem to work perfectly, but the fine and segno don't work at all so I cant hear what the results should sound like. Ant idea on how to fix that? Hopefully you can see what im talking about

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say thanks as I was struggling with the "Fine in the 1St Volta not being played" and this comment helped me solve the issue. Thanks a lot!!
