Measure play count grayed out for repeats?

• Mar 10, 2018 - 16:42

Hi!

Musescore 2.1 newbie here, struggling to get repeats to work correctly. I'm following the handbook instructions. Somehow the Measure Play Count properties became grayed out for me along the way in the attached score.

Also, despite the play count being 2, the playback still does not repeat correctly when the Play Repeats toggle is on.

Heads up - In a previous version of this file, the properties were available and the repeat playback worked correctly. I'm not sure what changed along the way...

Cheers and thanks for any help!

The play count is only settable (and only has an effect) on measure containing an end repeat barline.

Did you change the normal barline to an end repeat via inspector rather than via the barline palette?
That only changes appearance and does not affect playback, hence the play count is disabled, as this is just a normal barline in disguise.
Not sure, could be called a bug, but the right way to add barlines is to use the barlines palette
