Repetition, 1, 2 and 3 doesn't work

I would have hard time to explain why, but if you right click the second volta -> volta properties -> repeat list -> and change 2 by 1. It works.

I had to read this and think about it a while to understand why this works. I get it now - you only want that second ending played the first time *for that particular end-repeat sign*. But of course, it's the second time for the repeat as a whole, which seems a more natural way to think about it.

So, is this a design we just need to document well, or a bug we plan to fix for 2.0?

This is a very good question... There is a test file repeat09.mscx which mention "volta set to 1" in the title of the score. So I would guess it was a design decision but except this, I have no other clue.

Just came up again in #103701: Third volta doesn't work

Hi, this just came up in the dutch forum as well. I have tested the workaround in 2.0.3 and that does not work anymore, it now even stops playing after the second volta when setting the second volta bar repeat count to 1. While testing I even noted a strange behaviour that it would play the 2nd volta AND start at the first bar of the repeat at the same time in playback (see attached volta-test file).
The case in the dutch forum is just a "simple" first, second and third ending.
So guess some more work needs to be done here.

To be clear: what is described here isn't a "workaround", it's the correct behavior as we currently define it. No doubt there is room for improvement to make it more intuitive. But your file contains several errors. The repeat count for the measure with the first repeat is set to 3, when it should be 2, and the measure with the second repeat is set to 1 when it should be 2. Also, the volta repeats lists need to all be set to 1, because as explained above, the volta is to be played the first time *that particular measure* is encountered.

Fix these errors and it works as it should.

Thanks, I now understand how this works.

https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3371 changes the design, allowing to simply apply the volta from the palette without changing the repeat list. It also changes the repeatlist interpretation to match with what you'd normally put into the text field
