An abbreviated "play score", just to check the repeats and jumps.
Hi!
First: Thanks for the great work the "MuseScore" guys are doing. Appreciated!
A wish/question(?). When using repeats and jumps, I repeatedly find myself a bit "struggling" to get things right!
Could there perhaps be an option to "abbreviate" the "play through" with the target just to see if the repeats and jumps are interpreted the way I want them too?
So that I do not have to play through the whole piece each time to check all the Da capos, To codas, Segnos!! etc. are correctly interpreted!

Oh yes, work arounds exist (though long passages might be boring(!) , small tricks to speed up exist, but why not avoid "work arounds" and make it a function?

You would like something like: "Play only maesures with repeat/jumps marks"?

Yes, I think you got it spot on! Thanks!
And perhaps add an option: "how many measures in front of repeat/jumps" preference!.

To save time, I often 'abbreviate' a score, especially when troubleshooting forum examples:

where I do precisely what you request.
Also...
I don't know if you are aware of this, but - during playback - holding down the right arrow key will rapidly advance through the score until you release. This could be faster than opening a (new) feature's UI and specifying preferences for "how many measures in front of repeat/jumps" or "playback tempo increase ".
I see some comments on "my topic", all doing/suggesting "workarounds" and "tricks" to achieve a "simple" goal: Check the repeats and jumps of a score without having to play through the "whole thing".
None of the suggestions, even the examples, impress me. Why not a simple solution:
A simplified approach to play to an "untouched" score to check the repeats an jumps without any "smart" tricks.

Or why not a simple window that shows you the roadmap without crazy jumping around playback of some measure? Just something like
1-14
1-10
15-20
3-7
21-28
For a piece with looking like:
1 | 2 | (segno) 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 (to coda) | 8 | 9 | 10 |
(volta1 start) 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 (end volta 1) :| (start volta2) 15 | 16 | ... | 20 (D.S) |
(coda) 21 | 22 | ... | 28 ||

Yes, perhaps a good idea! It should , whatever approach/implementation, be possible to achieve as a «push one button» «thing».
