Playing through final bar line in second ending
I am transcribing a Jazz piece I wrote. It is supposed to be in ABA form with a second ending for section A. The current configuration almost works, except it keeps playing straight through the final bar line. How do I make Musescore stop the piece at the final bar line?
I also tried breaking up the sections. De Capo al Fine goes back to the start of the B section instead of the A section, so I used De Segno al Fine with a segno on the A section. This also almost works, but it ignores the second ending and keeps looping forever.

Voltas are normally used to mark different endings. Your score shows identical content for voltas 1 and 2.
You can get rid of the voltas, delete one of the identical measures, and use a D.C. al Fine to have the A section repeat (and then stop) after the B section.

Well, the sax melody is different. I just hadn't transcribed it in yet.
