Repeat confusion
Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to do a repeat into a coda. My song is going to repeat from measure 32 (going back to measure five as indicated with barlines) but then the second time when it gets measure 26 I want it to go to the ending which is measure 33 until the end. How do I mark this? I attached the song.
Thank you!

Yes! Perfect. Thank you! Can you explain how you did that?

According to handbook: Select the measures -> Double-click on the symbol in the palette ;-)

Cool! Thanks!
Here's another way... actually using a Coda, as sometimes volta lines need to traverse too many measures.

See Dal Segno al Coda:

Also, I inserted a horizontal frame at measure 33 (along with a line break at measure 32) to call attention to the coda.
See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/frame#horizontal
(If necessary, use menu item: View, and use the checkboxes to Show Frames and Show Unprintable items like line breaks.)
Also, I have a question...
Since measures 29-32 are identical to measures 1-4, why not eliminate the former (29-32) and jump directly to the beginning, rather than to measure 5? This way, you save a page and can use a shorter volta:

EDIT: OOOPS! Maybe Alto part is different (not added yet) so can't delete 29-32...

I dont undestand how to convert a barline to the beginning of a repeat or the end of a repeat.
How do I do that?
