Musescore Studio Issue(Would prefer a real Musician to answer)
I am a Pianist who knows how music notation works, don't get me wrong with that. But when I am writing on Musescore studio, one of the pallet options are the first and second ending bars. (Now it takes a musician to know what I'm talking about) I want to stretch the first line across two or three measures but for some reason I cannot... Real music notation allows you to make the first and second ending as long as you want. The old Studio allowed this but not the latest version. This goes against music notation, how is a composer supposed to compose properly when they aren't given accurate notation tools. They only allow me to cover one measure with the first and second endings, but that isn't what the real notation is. This needs to be re-looked into.
Below is a picture of how First and second endings can cover more than one measure.

It is unclear what you mean by "do not allow me"...
There are several ways to achieve ending lines covering several measures, which one are you trying and what is happening? Error message ? Something else? Are all ways to get several measures ending lines failing or only some of them?

Why I mean by "do not allow me" is Musescore studio only provides a certain amount of features and by the program not letting me add more than one first and second ending to multiple measures means it "Will not allow me"
I don't know what you mean by real musician. I guess anyone using Musescore is a musician in some way. And I expect you would get a similar answer from any experienced Musescore user.
Voltas can cover as many measures as you want. Either a) select the range you want to cover and then click on the volta in the palette. Or b) add the volta to one measure and then use Shift + right arrow extend it to the right or select the leftmost "handle" and use Shift + left to extend it to the left.
Voltas behave exactly the same as other lines in that respect, except that they can only cover full measures and so can be adjusted only measure by measure. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/voltas#change-appearance and https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/adjusting-elements-directly#change-…
If that doesn't help, come back and explain in more detail what you are doing (which keys are you pressing, where are you positioning the mouse and what are you clicking on etc?) and what happens instead of what you expect

Thanks for your support, I'll try that. What I mean by a real musician is someone who does not know much about music will not have the correct answer. I know what I'm talking about but just need Musesore to extend their first/second ending feature as it is extended in original notation. It is an extremely simple fix if you know what I'm talking about. I don't know why Musescore changed this option.

No, you are a "real musician" and you didn't know the answer. What you want is someone experienced with using MuseScore ... whether or not they can play a note.
The function wasn't changed in the least. It's been the same way at least since mid-version 3. Select the measures you want the xth volta on and click the volta option from the palette.

Your insistence on an answer from a real musician comes across as rather insulting to the vast majority of users here. Do you think that the majority don't understand what a volta is? Would one of the few who don't understand what a volta is be likely to answer your question?

A real musician doesn't read handbooks ;-)
Is the Handbook confusing or lacking something?:
