In attached score, I set the "Repeat Count" in "Measure Properties" for the measure just before the end repeat sign to 1. But there is a bug in playback because playback will halt when reaching the end of that measure. Expected behavior is that playback should continue on to subsequent measure.

Note that this bug occurs when "Play Repeats" button is enabled, but does not occur when "Play Repeats" is disabled.

(As an aside, looking back at the measure property dialog, I notice that the phrase "Repeat count" could be a little misleading to someone who doesn't already know its behavior from the manual, because the integer does not actually the number of times the repeat is taken, but rather how many times that repeated section is played. I was looking at #74371: Repeats not working for playback and I'm speculating that maybe the user mistakenly set that "Repeat count" to 1 thinking that was the number of times the repeat would be taken. I think maybe something more precise is needed here...but the best I can think of now is "Number of times to play repeated section" which is a little wordy.)
