Repeat Count Doesn't Appear On The Staff

• May 31, 2019 - 14:00

There is a line including 4 measures to repeat 4 times.

I put "Start Repeat" at the beginning measure.

I put "End Repeat" at the end of the measure sequence.

Select the last measure in the sequence. Go to "Measure Properties - Repeat Count" set it as 4. Apply. OK.

Repeat Sign does not appear.

How to fix that?

I attached the file here.

2.0.3 is such an old version it could be a bug that was fixed years ago. You really need to upgrade at least to version 2.3.2 so we know the status of the bugs, and 3.1 is such a good program you should use that instead.

It tells MuseScore how many times to play the measures leading up to the repeat.

Most of the time for a musician, there is no need to explicitly say "Repeat 4 times" because there are other things in score to indicate this. One way is to have voltas, the volta before the repeat will have text like "1.-3." or "1, 2, 3" and the volta after will have "4." Another way this is shown is to have 4 verses that are to be sung. It is unnecessary to explicitly write "Repeat 4 times" on the score in these situations. As a result, if you have a case where you want a repeat played more than twice, you must supply the text that makes sense.
