Playback keeps skipping the first ending

• Nov 7, 2024 - 11:23

My piece contains 2 endings. attached here is the snippet. when I played it, it just directly skips to the second ending, not playing the first ending at all, I already tried steps so it tries to play from the beginning and in the first loop. Could anybody help me fix this?

Thanks for your suggestion. I already added a start repeat at the beginning, it still wouldn't play the first ending. Also when I try to jump to the first ending (bar 17), it just goes to bar 14, seems like its trying to avoid it. It just keeps skipping to bar 20, bar 17-19 couldn't be played.

Repeat barlines don't nest, you (almost) always need them in pairs and serially.
Exceptions are
a) a start repeat is optional, lacking one means 1st measure
b) an end repeat is optional, lacking one means take the last measure (not 100% sure here)
c) when using voltas you can have multiple end repeat barlines, but the voltes need to span the entire (non-first and non-last) repeat
