Voltas (I'm doing something wrong)
Hi
This song is a simple verse + chorus 4 times. The volta 1 should repeat 3 times and then on verse 4, jump to the '4th' time bar. Currently it never gets to the 4th time bar.
I have hopefully attached the properties for both volta bars as it must be in there that I am making my mistake. I'd be grateful if someone could point out the obvious that I have missed.

Fix that 4 volta to have a repeat list of 4 rather than 1. The is one of the known and documented incompatibilities of 2.2 vs. earlier versions.
Also you need to set the play count of the measure with the end repeat barline to 4
If that doesn't help, please share the score

That's got it thanks. Tho' I have to say, making a bar that you only want played 3 times to have a 'play count' of 4 is not at all intuitive.
Anyways, thanks for your help. I have some hair left for tearing out later...

Sorry Jojo, I spoke too soon. Now it plays the repeat bar and then goes straight to the last bar without repeating anything. What format should I post the score in?

You want the repeat to play 4 times, volta or not.
Maybe you disabled play repeats in the toolbar?
