Loop a song from the begin with a single count-in?
It is possible to loop a song from its begin (thus: set loop-start on the first note of the first measure) and have count-in ticks played only the first time, so not on every repeat?
I couldn't find a way. Having the first measure with just drum (s)ticks won't help, having looping enabled makes Musescore always start at the loop start position. If you change the loop start point during playback inside the loop is possible (you press a midi foot controller sending some OSC commands to Musescore), but makes the song jump to that point if t isn't done at exactly the correct time. I found no way to trigger a macro during playback.
I use loop in the playback a lot for both sections of and the whole song, Musescore being my favorite companion for my piano lessons.

But make a copy of the score first, I think it's not possible to go back after unroll.

Unroll makes a separate copy of the score, so nothing to worry about :-)
Thanks,
I was not aware of the unrol-repeat function. However, that is not what I'm looking for.
I want a indefinate repeat until I stop the playback (from a midi controller), or ideally a jump to the ending bars and then stop (a feature found in the drum sequencer found on electronic organs and keyboards). Actually a sort of automated bas/drum (optionally solo) accompaniment that I program myself.
