Repeats with more than 3 endings

On the "volta_test2.mscz" you need to change the repeat count to 3 as described in Measure operations , "Repeat count".

However the playback problems with more than three alternate endings is a bug.

maybe here too the Workaround from #48456: Repetition, 1, 2 and 3 doesn't work would work here too. The scores here are just very old, from pre 0.95 (at least that is claimed when trying to load in 2.0.2, but there then File/Info shows 0.96, still very old)

FYI, I've found out, that multi-voltas and a fourth-volta may be created in musescore-2.1 by editing the XML file, see my score
https://musescore.com/user/12771361/scores/4868420
for the results.
I've attached a screen shot of the score as edited in emacs' brilliant zip-mode.
This is just a hack for the impatient ones, who urgently need this feature for their scores.
The good news is that all the infrastructure is already inside mussecore-2.1 and there's only a lack of a likewise editor widget, which will hopefully be brought by musescore-2.2 ;-)

I'm not understanding what you are attempting to do here that cannot be done directly by simply right clicking the volta and going to Volta Properties?

Hello Marc,
The problem is, that I usually use the Inspector to edit properties. Usually the inspector widget shows all properties, so I never use the "Properties..." dialog. The Voltas seem to be an exception, so I was unaware of the fact, that all the properties are already there.
Maybe the inspector widget for the volta may be extended in musescore-2.2 just as I spotted in the musescore3 nightlies...

In cases of doubt sometimes a look into the handbook helps ;-) , so see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voltas

But yes, having a complete volta inspector might indeed help

Yes, please complete the volta inspector for musescore-2.2 just like the musescore-3 snapshots.
TIA, Wolfgang

Well, major architectural changes like that won't be done for 2.2 - that's what 3.0 is for. Meanwhile, just know now that the properties dialogs are there and serve a number of valuable purposes. And when in doubt, the Handbook is always there to help you learn what is there.

For the record, voltas are hardly the only exception. Quite a few other elements have properties that are only accessible via properties dialogs. All other lines that include text, plus all other forms of text, also time signatures, section breaks, plus measure, staff, and score properties, etc.

Sidelining the whole move-properties-into-inspector discussion, PR https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3371 addresses the original report.

unwindSection using RepeatList as how a human will notate the volta: using the n-th time a startRepeat is taken, also slightly modified the jump detection logic to have it check for jumps only upon the last passage of a measure
