Getting Volta and Repeats right
Hi there
I'd like to get the repeats working right in the attached score. What I want is that it plays the first bar followed by the second bar 3 times, then the first bar followed by the third bar once, then goes on the the second line of music. I am not sure how to notate this correctly nor how to make it play correctly in musescore. Any help much appreciated.
I just love this script. I wrote a rave about it on Facebook in a group I admin with over 1000 members. I have been using it a couple of days and every day I find some wonderful new feature. Today it was custom fret-diagrams which means I do not have to use complicated chord names which no-one understands and which are ambiguous anyway.

I don't understand the meaning of the measure property "Repeat count", but I know that it should always be 1 more than the count of the repeats. If you want one repeat, it must be 2 - if you want 3 repeats it must be 4.
Besides I deleted the repeat mark in measure 3 and inserted an opening repeat mark in measure 4.
I hope that's the wished result.

If you want it played twice, repeat count has to be 2.

And if you want it played threetimes it has to be four ... (as in the given example)

No, of you want it played four times it has to be four.
The confusion is about 'repeat', if you want it repeated once, that means you want it played twice.

No, look at the example of Andrew Rachid: Measure 2 is played exactly three times. And Repeat count has to be four.
In reply to No, look at the example of by KHS
Yes, because of the volta. the section still is played 4 times total

Oh, thank you. Now it's clear: The measure propery "Repeat count" doesn't belong to the measure but to the section and it doesn't count the repeats but the times played.
That's rather confusing, but now I know how to interprete this property.
Thank you for the explanations and the corrected version, works great.
