Coda not working in playback
I have watched both tutorial videos on repeats, and read the handbook and all the posts I could find on the subject, but I'm still confused. I'm trying to make rehearsal videos of this score for my choir, so correct playback is essential. I've put in exactly what's written in the score, but the coda jump is ignored in playback. (I'm no expert on repeats, so perhaps the symbols are just wrong.)
The repeat symbols for the verse-to-chorus jumpback work; ideally it would bounce back twice from measure 40 to measure 3 because the chorus is actually sung three times, but I can live with that just happening once.
What I really need to have happen is the jump from the end of the chorus, the last time through ( "to Coda" mark at the end of measure 20), to the tag ending (Coda mark at the beginning of measure 41). What actually happens is that the second time through, it just plays straight from measure 3 to the end. Is there a way to achieve this in playback?

I believe you need a 'Segno' and a 'Dal Segno al coda'
Measure 40, right click Properties-> set play count to 3
A summarised example is attached

I put the Segno at bar 3 (the initial repeat sign) and it's perfect. Didn't even have to change the play count, as the DS provides the second repeat. Thank you!
