Repeats

• May 8, 2025 - 21:06

I'm used to working with Finale PrintMusic. I'm working on a song that plays through the first and second system. Then at the end to the second system, it goes to the beginning of the song and then plays to the end of measure 7 and then jumps to measure 15 and plays to the end of the song. When it gets to the end of the song, I would like to repeat to two previous systems and then play to the end of the song. I would like Musescore to play it back just that way. I can't find in the handbook how to do this. I tried putting in D.C. al Coda, etc. and this did not work.

Sorry it took so long. It's a song I heard on a gospel LP 65 years ago and I doing it from memory. As you see, it repeats at measure 14, then goes to end of measure 6. Then skips to measure 15 and goes to the end of the song. I'm considering of having it repeat to the last word of measure 36 and then go to the end and have to lasts 3 measures slow down. Let me know it the attachment didn't work.

Yeah, adding the missing first volta fixes the issue.

On another matter, there are several instances of fairly jarring chords:

ECFC on "wan-" in measure 1
EGDF on "dis-" in measure 6
EGDG on "is" in measure 20

... to list a few. If we were talking about jazz, I might call them "spicy", but here I think "jarring" is the right word. You might want to re-check your source that you've got those correctly notated.
