Extending the first ending bracket
Hello all. I happen to have an 11 bar 1st ending in my song. But I cannot extend the bracket for the 1st ending past the system that it's on. I can manually add another bracket, but I cannot delete the number, so it looks like I inserted another 1st ending, which is not the case.
Is there a way to do this? I understand there was such a feature in MuseScore 3, but now there isn't?

By "bracket", do you mean a Volta?
How are you placing and adjusting the volta?
This works: select the measures that you want to apply it to and click on the volta in the Lines palette.
This works: drag a volta from the palette then select it and extend with [Shift][RightArrow].
This doesn't work: select the volta and use the mouse to drag its corner to the right.

Yes, I mean a Volta. I tried to drag it using the mouse. I didn't know I could use [Shift][Right-Arrow to extend it. I'll try that right now. Thank you.

No, that doesn't work. It moves the entire first ending. I want the Volta to cover 11 bars, but it won't go past the system that it's on.

As mentioned above:
1. Click on the first of the 11 bars, then Shift + click on the last of the 11 bars
2. Single-click on the Volta symbol in the Lines palette.
With 4.5.2, it works here and has always worked with previous versions.

If it does not work, please attach the score.
If the eleven bars are at the very beginning, it may not work.

If one starts the first measure with a first volta, then this does not work!

Well, which version are you talking about? Works perfectly as expected here (version 4.5.2)

Well, I use 3.6.2, 3.7 and 4.5.2 and it's the same behavior in all of them!
See here, first half has a volta at the beginning or a score, second half with an extra bar at the beginning. This video is made with 4.5.2.
EDIT: I don't know why the video is not working ,,, - Now it's working :-)

Well, that wasn't the question at all, nor was it a playback problem. The user was unable to extend the Volta over 2 systems, I quote him (“But I cannot extend the bracket for the 1st ending past the system that it's on ”), which is perfectly possible as shown in the image above.

Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, it is a bit drifted and I also misunderstood something. Playing (and not drawing) was my understanding!

I don't think that's a problem. We have to have at least one measure before Volta 1, otherwise there's no alternative ending....
Or, to put it another way, there is no common beginning!
It is pointless or simply a user error.

Hm, you're having a point there
