Difficulties in using both repeat, D.S. al Fine and voltas
I have this demo test voltas.mscz file that mixes both repeat, D.S. al Fine and voltas.
Expected playback is: ABCD, BCEFG, BCD, BCEF.
Following the instructions from https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/voltas , I set:
- the volta repeat list as expected
- the play count of measure 4 to 3
The current playback is: ABCD, BCEFG.
Am I missing something ? Or should I use a different repeat instruction ? Or is there a bug ?
thanks

You are not missing anything (as far as I know) and there is no bug.
I suspect you need to rewrite both sections E and F. But there may be another solution.
Perhaps a better solution here.

Thanks for these suggestions. In fact, I mis-wrote the expected playback. After G, the D.S must jump to C.
So the expected playback is : ABCD, BCEFG, CD, BCEF.

Well done, it does the expected playback : )
I have read it many times, but it looks more like a workaround written for a computer to read than for a musician.
It should be the strength of the "D.S al Fine", don't you think ?

Mixing normal repetitions with D.S. al Fine or al Coda brings with it the problem of sequence.

Thanks for your investigations.
Do we agree that the original score I sent should be played by a musician ABCD, BCEFG, CD, BCEF ?

I'm just a beginner at making music and therefore not the measure of all things!
But I can't really see how the sequence is intended and I've never seen this construct before. If you give this to musicians, there have to be explanations ...
