al Fine
Is it possible to use the tag "Fine" as a straightforward "Stop/End" command as opposed to using it in connection with D.S. al Fine or D.C. al Fine?
The Playback feature seems to ignore the Fine on its own.
I usually add Chord definitions after the end of a score by just adding a number of Measures for that purpose and do not know how to stop the Playback at that point..
Many thanks for any input.

No, these "Jump Targets" (start, segno, to coda, fine, end) only work with "Jump Instructions" (D.C., D.S., without or with al Coda or al Fine) referencing them

Many thanks, that does it .... so, looking at at it from a different angle, is it possible during the Playback, to bypass/skip a section of the score perhaps used for reference only ?
It seems such a "trivial" requirement ....

You can fake it

Many thanks, your "fake.mscz" works exactly in the way I need alas, my attempt at a similar sample fails miserably .... re "Stop Playback.mscz" below.
Strange or what ....

Then you probably didn't fully reverse engineer all my secret dirty little tricks
Edit: actually you used none of them...

Ha, ha .... clever .... I did actually cotton on after your previous mention of dirty tricks and more less worked it out.
It's a shame the "end" is actually the end measure and not the true end of the score/staff.
That would obviously remove the need for the extra empty measure.
Anyway, it's all singin' and dancin' now!
Many thanks,

Well, a 'Jump to' jumps to the start of the measure (start, segno, coda, etc), never to it's end. "Play until" though plays to is end.
That last measure could get shortened to 1/64, to 'play' even less. And to a Tempo of 999BPM, to play quicker ;-)

I looked at your Stop Playback.mscz file and noticed the chord names and notes themselves were colored gray (as if they were marked invisible). The fretboard diagrams appear as the visible/black coloration (except, as you mention, they are not representative of the chord names).
Also, the first staff (system) shows 6 measures while the second staff (system) shows 7 measures - with different chord names - so I don't know how using a separate staff 'just for the definitions' would work here.
So, the best bet would be to use the image capture tool and paste the chord definition image in a frame:
Stop Playback2.mscz

Many thanks for giving it a thought; just one point - the differences in the colouring (grey as opposed to black here) are purely cosmetic (not invisible) and the last 7 measures are simply a continuation of the staff above it. After "Fine".
However, you have alerted me to the "image capture tool", which is obviously the way to go and is something I will certainly try ....
Isn't MUSESCORE just marvelous ?! So many options, tools and features !
Thank you again,

It's not something that standard notation has any way of dealing with, so it's not something that normally comes up. If wanted to add content after the end of a score, I'd do it as text or as images.
You can probably also fake it with a volta that is configured for a non-existing repeat-count.
See attachment, where the last measure isn't played, as it should only be played on a 2nd repeat, which the piece doesn't have.

Wow!
That's a ten second solution! (very underquarkian :-)
I even tried it on the OP's file... the 'fake' volta can be made invisible, too.

Far too easy to be underquarkian ;-)
To be on the save side, so it doesn't play even if there were repeat, set repeat list to 0
