Problem with voltas - will not play more than twice
I seem unable to create voltas that play more than twice; attached is my attempt (after searching online for help). Editing the volta properties (right-clicking to access Properties) seems to have no effect. Could some kind person please look at my file and see where the problem is?
I am on MuseScore version 1.0 and I am new to music notation software, by the way!
Yours,
Peter

The number of times it plays doesn't depend on the volta text. Instead, it's a property of the measure that has the repeat sign in it. -- the one that ends with the two dots, a thin line, and a fat line.
Single click on a blank place in that measure to select it, then right click for a menu. At the bottom, click on "Measure Properties". Near the bottom there'll be a Repeat Count that you can adjust. Then click "Apply" and "OK".

Thank you so much, John, your advice is just the answer to the problem. In fact, re-reading the MuseScore Local Handbook I only now understand the instructions under "Repeat", which were obscure before your post.
Yours gratefully,
