Having trouble with repeating whole sections
I have a traditional folk tune that has two main tunes in it. Each tune has an A and a B part. I can't figure out how to get this structure to work. I get how to get the first AA to repeat and go on to the BB, but at the end of the BB I don't know how to get the whole Tune 1 to do this two more times before going on to Tune 2. Like this:
Tune 1
AA BB
AA BB
AA BB
Tune 2
AA B
AA B
AA B
Tune 1
AA BB

Nested repeats are not a thing in music notation, for good reason - they tend to confuse musicians who can't figure out which start goes with which end. So, you'll want to simply write out the two A's separately, and the two B's.
It's conceivable that with enough tricker involving DC and DS and potentially multiple segnos, you could get a theortetically-correct roadmap, but it's pretty much guaranteed to lead to train wrecks in performance, so I still recommend keeping it simple.
