Variable repetitions in first bar of a repeat section

• Nov 27, 2022 - 20:30

In this score extract the line is played 5 times. As indicated, in the first bar a rest is used the first time but a note is played during the following repetitions. What is the best way to enter this line in MuseScore and have a correct playback? I use the playback feature quite often for training purposes as I don't play an instrument... I'm using Musescore 3.2.3+dfsg2-16~ppa2204+1 on Ubuntu. Thanks!

MuseScore does not currently support a different playback interpretation of a measure on a different repeat.
For this specific example I'd opt for moving the repeat by a measure, so it starts after the full measure rest and has the dotted half note in a following measure with the end repeat.

Consider upgrading to 3.6.2, which is the most recent 3.x release and has been out there for over a year.

And please just add your screenshots directly to the post instead of using a word document.
