I have placed a D.C al Fine at the end of the bars with a repeat ending.
The Fine is part way through - the repeat works but it does not stop at the Fine.

It works perfectly. You have a repeat and a DC al fine. It plays the song, then it plays the repeat, then it plays the DC al fine as expected.

I have now updated to 3.5.2 - I have reloaded Musescore 3, edited the file, replaced the D.C al Fine and replaced the Fine, but it is still not stopping at the Fine.

Yes you are correct - I had thought incorrectly that it should play all through once and then stop at the Fine, however after your comment I realised that it plays once, then repeats all, then stops at the FIne.
Many thanks

Not working for me either.
Works just fine here. Do you have "Play repeats" enabled? That button in the toolbar that looks line an end repeat barline?

The repeats work and I have Play Repeats enabled. But as with the OP, when the music gets to the Fine it should stop at that beat. Instead it continues to the end of the measure and then stops.
The D.C. al Fine does work and stops at the last beat of the measure with the Fine. If you want it to stop earlier, you'd need to split the measure (and reapliy the Fine), not just visually move the Fine to the left

No, Fine should stop on the beat, not wait till the end of the measure. This music is as written and played by major orchestras. It should stop on the beat that has the word Fine over it. If you want the entire measure to be the last, then Fine should be placed on the end of the measure, not the beginning. Please research and verify this for yourself before continuing.
A fine stops at the end of a measure (at least in MuseScore, that's why this is by design). Check my version to see how this can get done

Uh oh, not good.
That's the point, the design is half right. The default should be to the end of the measure with Fine placed at the end of the measure. If Fine is anywhere else, it should stop on that beat. This is a simple thing that you learn early in theory class and no one should have to make a workaround for it. What if 1st and 2nd repeats similarly did not work? Telling users that oh well, they will have to write out the score twice, with the second time having a different ending, is unacceptable.
You can't attach a Fine (or any jump instrunction or jump marker) to a note/chord or rest, just to a measure. And there it applies to its end (well, Segno and Coda to its start). Workaround as outlined above.
And this is a different issue that that of the OP.
C'mon, be positive. We can't attach a fine to a note....yet. When you fix it, we'll be able to do just that. I trust in the abilities of the Musescore programmers to fix this problem with their usual skill. If you see any Musescore programmers be sure to thank them for me. They've done an outstanding job so far.
There's nothing to fix, as there's nothing broken.

Ah! So you've fixed it! Thanks! O happy day!

No, however you can assign this problem for young programmers to repair through the Google Summer of Code. I'm sure they will include the h as needed in order to repair the problem.
