Multiple endings
I don't understand the documentation dealing with multiple endings. I've been working on a song with a chorus and five verses. Usually the score would show an ending for verses 1 through 4 and then the final ending for verse 5 and the chorus. I tried editing the the number in ending one open and closed but I couldn't find a way to do it. The handbook talks about complex endings but I don't understand the method. I also don't understand multiple repeats.

I don't quite understand your intention there:

5 verses but only 3 endings, 1st with 5 verses, 2nd and 3rd with 2 verses each?
Maybe like this?

If so, check the attached.
Note the voltas' repeat lists ('1,2,3,4' and '5') and the play count of the measure with the end repeat barline (5)

Yes, that is the way I want it. I didn't understand from the instructions how to make the voltas' lists so I could edit the numbers. The other change would be deleting ending 5 as shown and making the last measure ending 5. Another question, If the verses don't begin on a pickup note, will numbering the verses at the first measure also work to allow voltas editing?

voltas are alternative endings, so won't work at the start of a repeat
And numbering verses has got nothing to do with voltas
