System break with repeat causes a problem

• Mar 21, 2019 - 18:29

I am composing a Theme and Variations and I have a problem. Specifically it has to do with repeats. The first 2 repeats are fine. Now I have a variation and uh oh, the first repeat in the variation leads to the second section of the skeletal theme instead of the first bar of the variation. I don't get this issue at all with repeats and voltas. I figured that the system break should allow me to have the first repeat of each variation start at the first bar of each variation while at the same time, not giving me the 3 second pause that a section break would give me. But no, instead I get this issue where a repeat leads to a section that has already been repeated when I don't want it to. How do I fix this?

Here is the score for which I am having this issue:

Both just setting the section break to 0 and inserting a vertical frame and adding it to the section break worked. I don't have the repeat issue in either of your attachments. I didn't know you could adjust the length of the pause from the section break.
