Volta Anchor Points
If I put in a first and second ending and change the number of bars a volta covers I am unable to change the anchor point for playback. So I've consulted the FAQ and read that shift and + are supposed to let you shift it by a bar.
Nope sorry, this won't work for me.
What are we doing instead to fix this?

Yes and my volta covers multiple bars. Please re read my question.
I am unable to shift the ANCHOR point that covers playback. So although my volta covers multiple bars the playback skips only 1 bar because of the anchor point.

Can you attach here the score you are having problems with?

Well sir that made all the difference.
I had initially put in the volta then edited the element to cover multiple bars after I played around with the arrangement. Then got into problems with the anchor point not moving.
I took your advice selected the multiple bars then added the volta.
Presto!
Works fine.
User error, I guess.
Thanks Shoichi
Where did you find Shift + being mentioned?

Hey Jojo
It was in the volta section of the handbook.

And if you read Schioci's reply right to the end (or the handbook entry) you will see it says Shift + Right Arrow. So hold the Shift key down and hit right (or left) arrow.

FIXED!
Thanks for clarifying that Steve. Looked like a plus sign when I was reading through it.

My eyesight is great but it looked like a plus sign. Makes a lot of difference.
