Third repeat with certain omissions
I made music to a song that requires three repetitions. I figured out, how to do that. But I have a challenge with the third repetition: it should be shorter than the first two, by simply omitting certain bars in the middle. How do I make Musescore do that?

I found a simple solution! Assigning a Volta to those bars that are to be omitted third time, and then edit the Volta to only be used the first 2 times! Then it plays 3rd time without playing those bars! Bingo!
Maybe repeat twice then use jumps (D.S. al Coda, Segno, To Coda and Coda)?

Yes, I thought of that - but it takes that a lot of notes gets repeated.

Write the third repetition in the ongoing part of the staff (Copy and paste).
If some measures are different, do not be afraid to write them as a (following) separate section.
Or use one of the options mentioned above.
Or attach the file here so that everyone can see and review it.
(Maybe you're writing a choral work, and the chorists just pay attention to the lyrics. The chef (director) will rehearse them thoroughly and after a while the notes will be insignificant.)
In the old revue sessions, the parts (score) were written without repeat marks (repetition bars) and the sheets were folded together in accordion-style for a half-hour (or more) continuous and uninterrupted play!
There are different solutions for each need.

It is not necessary to make it that complicated. I upload my solution - maybe others can learn from what I found. The critical place is from bar 22 to bar 32. Note that is paramount to modify the VOLTA itself, not just the visible lines. Just for good order's sake, I retain all rights to the work, but I certainly welcome comments.
