First and Second Endings
I've been working with Musescore, writing out "My Favorite Things", following my sheet music book. When playing back through the first ending and into the second, playback skips the first measure of the first ending, plays the second measure, then plays the two measure second ending before proceeding through the rest of the music. Any idea why? The bar above the measures for the first ending is three sided, as in the sheet music, and the second ending two sided, also as in the sheet music. Thanks for any feedback.

Always better to post the score. Hard to tell what you mean from your description. What does 3 sided/2 sided mean?
I think you have the first Volta (the one with three sides - two ends and a long, horizontal bit) assigned to one measure but you have lengthened it leftwards to make it cover two or more measures visually. I think your two-sided bar is a Volta with an end piece (left) and a longer, horizontal line (top). So, those are my ideas, but - please post the score!

Thanks.

It's just as underquark said above. You extended the first ending correctly. You must have simply dragged it to cover the second measure visually, but if you want it to affect playback, you have to do it with Shift+Right as described in the Handbook under Volta .

... when adjusted as described. Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot for the tip.
Another way to do this is to select two bars and then double-click the 1st-ending (or 2nd, etc.) in the Lines Palette.

IIRC this works as of 2.x, but back in December 2013 () whet this thread was last active) this wasn't available
