Volta repeats not working as they should
The problem is in bars 71-74. The section repeats 5 times then stops. It should repeat and then go to bar 75 (marked ending #6) but it doesn't.

You need the play count to be 6 (you currently have 5) then set the volta to play volta 1 "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" you currently have "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6"
Edit: cross post, glad you got it to work.

Pity that PNG isn't larger. And things seem to work differently in 3.0.2. Bar properties? How, please, does that affect proper playback of repeats, to say nothing of codas? And where do I find bar properties in 3.0.2?

OK, "bar properties" = "measure properties" in my version. Language difference?

Ah, Her Maj's subjects and citizens of the US of A. Two great peoples separated by a common language.
To the original point, I was able to make things work by foraging around in the dialog boxes until I found what I needed. I also find it interesting, but it's probably a different thread, that in order to make a coda work, I had to insert a "To Coda"; I'm used to notation that goes, as one of my band directors of yore liked to call it, bombsight to bombsight.

Without a "To Coda," when do you expect MuseScore to jump to the Coda? How does it know that?

As I was saying, bombsight to bombsight. The first appearance of the sign indicates the jumping-out point, the second the jumping-in point. At least, that's the notation I grew up on (to end a sentence with two prepositions).

Then use a To Coda and change that to look like a Coda

Thank you for the suggestion. Not sure how to do that. Not sure that it's critical, either, now that I now how MS works. Might have to play around with the file when I get back to my personal computer.

I usually double click the symbol, copy it and then double click "to Coda" and paste it there.

For the sake of anyone lurking on this thread now, what I had to do was, I believe, close to what Jojo-Schmitz suggested; specifically, I inserted a To Coda; then I selected the text in the To Coda and replaced it with a coda symbol from the symbols palette. Had to enlarge the symbol from FreeSerif 12 to FreeSerif 20 to make it the same size as the coda symbol at the end of the piece. But it works. When I play it back, it jumps off in all the right places, including the coda. Thank you, all.
