I don't think you need the fourth ending to be marked as such. Without it the score plays the prior section 3 times then moves on properly.

Thanks for your input.
You are right, but that doesn't give me what I want.
Bars 2/3 should play 3 times, then bars 2/4 and on to the end.
The measure with the end repeat barline needs a play count of 4

Thanks for your input, changing the play count to 4 on bar 3 does fix the order of playback, but it introduces another problem: on the second and third plays the first beat of bar 2 is silent, on the fourth play only the first beat of bar 4 sounds, the rest is silence.

True, that's a different issue though, and a bug, the other is by design

And it gets stranger than that. This simple repeat structure doesn't work in MS3 either. And yes, changing the play count fixes it. Doesn't make any sense, though.
And in MS4 changing the play count does make notes not play. That is until you delete the header. Then all notes sound, but playback order is still not correct.

I'm sure it makes sense!
The repeat section should be played four times, three times with the first end and once with the second end. So the play count must be four!

The play count thing has been true ever since, you want 4 repeats in total: play count opf the measure with the end repeat barline needs to be 4, even if the 4th round in in a volta after that measure

Fair enough. It's just that the software I come from doesn't work that way.
Just for the fun it, consider this. When you set up measure 3 with the needed endings, you give it 1-3 numbered endings. When you look at the measure properties it says the play count is 3. So you have to change to 4 the play count for measure 3. Even though measure 3 only plays 3 times. I would think that should be a function of the repeat barline.
But no matter. The way to fix this file is to set the playback to 4, and delete the fourth ending line. Then it plays properly, all notes included.

When I first started using Musescore, I had the same understanding problem.
The play count setting is assigned as a property to measure 3. And this measure is played three times here, not four. This is a little confusing.
Maybe it should have been a property of the right repeat bar, or the field should have been given a different name, something like: Go n times to the left repeat bar.
It was decided by the software developers the way it is now and if you know it, you can live well with it.

Yes, play count as a(n end) repeat barline property would make more sense. But that bird has flown a long time ago, nor we're stuck with it for compatibility reasons
