Second time only
Is there a feature within Muse Score to make an instrument play on the second time through a repeated phrase only?

No.
if you want that for your play-back, impossible, you must duplicated the passage. If you want only for the player, simply write "2nd time only or TACET 1st Time"
I would like to add that in a lot of occasions the 2nd time differs slightly from the first time. For example, the horns play mf 1st time, and f the 2nd time.
It would be great to find a solution. I understand that you can copy paste the score, but you really want to keep the score as compact as possible.

Easy to tell the musician, like via a staff text, difficult (and currently impossible) for MuseScore's playback

Of course if playback is vital, like making an MP3, you can use Tools->Unroll repeats, edit playback and you have the best of both worlds. A readable score and one that plays properly. You just have to either maintain both or unroll the score every time since they aren't linked.

Hello, I cannot find this feature in the current version of MuseScore. Does it still exist? Thank you.

It never existed, playback wise. Or existed ever since, as far as a staff or system text to tell the musicians is concerned

Oh, unless you mean 'unroll repeats', that indeed vanished from Mu4, one of many regressions vs. Mu3

Yes I was meaning 'unroll repeats'. Interesting regression when it was obviously useful. Thanks for your reply.

But you can use MuS 3.7 from Jojo-Schmitz.
It does read MuS 4 files and you can "Unroll Repeats" there. It makes a copy of the score and save it as "xxx_unrolled.mscz" and you can open it in MuS 4.
