Piano not playing

• Jun 1, 2025 - 22:50

My choral parts and piano accompaniment play for the refrain but not for the verses. Help!

You have incomplete voltas and no repeat sign. To work correctly, voltas require a repeat. MuseScore gets to a 2nd ending without a repeat and doesn't know what to do. Although it never reached that point, you would have found that a staff text saying "To Refrain" has no playback effect. You would have wanted to add a D.C. al Fine and changed the text to "To Refrain".

I included the refrain first, then placed a start repeat before the verse, the chorus, and the voltas. It gives you correct playback. I adjusted scaling a smidge to keep it to two pages.

There are other ways to do what you want, but I thought of this way first.

[A few moments later] Oops! I doubled the tempo so that I could test the repeats more quickly. You'll have to reduce it back to 60.
