Volta for Second Repeat

• Nov 20, 2023 - 19:19

Using MuseScore 3.6.2, I followed the instructions on https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/voltas to add a volta at the end of the verse and before the chorus. That worked and it went back to the top of the score on play. However, adding a "2" in the Inspectors-> Volta -> Repeat list did not work, and it went on to the chorus. I tried several notations:
1, 2
1 - 2
1., 2.
Still didn't work. I also changed the Text box the same way, with no change. Am I missing something here?
Thanks.

Great, thanks for that tip, Jojo. I changed the play count in the measure with the end repeat barline to 3. That was by right-clicking the measure and selecting Measure Properties, not in the Inspector. I also had to select the volta and open the Inspector and set Volta -> Repeat to 3, otherwise it repeated three times but on the third omitted that measure.

Worth noting that the help page for repeats and jumps for MuseScore 3 is at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/repeats-and-jumps, separate from the voltas help page at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/voltas.
