Voltas looking and playing right

• Jan 5, 2025 - 01:18

I've done voltas > 1 repeat before, according to https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/voltashttps://musescore.org/en/hand…
and they were fine. In case it matters, I just updated Muse Score, like last week, to the latest MS.

I have one where I want it to repeat the 1st ending 3x Then on the 4th time I want it to do the 2nd ending. It currently doesn't show that or do that (see screenshot 0)
even though I (think I) did what I think the above doc said: notably
I went to the properties of the first volta and I set the repeat list to "1,2,3" (see screenshot 1)
I went to the properties of the 2nd volta and set the repeat list to 4 ?? (see screenshot 2)
Then I also went to the bar of the first volta with the repeat in it (2 bar volta) and set the play count to 4 (makes no sense but that's what it says to do.) (see screenshot 3)

Is it an issue in the latest version, and if not, what critical detail am I forgetting?
Nothing changed in the appearance of my score.... which is the most important thing here.

Can you attach the score (the MSCZ file), please? It's much easier to trouble-shoot than reading text and looking at screenshots.

Why do you say that setting the play count to 4 makes no sense? The play count is applied to the repeat of the whole section, not the volta. You want 3 of one series of bars and then 1 with a different ending, that's a play count of 4.
