Is it OK to have an internal repeat(pair) inside of an outside repeat(pair)?
When I did this, the playback doesn't follow the two repeats.

While it might seem logical to be able to nest repeats within one another, standard notational conventions frown upon this. Human musicians reading your score won't understand where the repeats go, either.

Because of the frowning, I eliminated the interior repeat.
It was a little difficult getting it to look good on two pages.
Can I somehow locally adjust some distances
(e.g., system distances or others) to satisfy my preferences?
Incidentally, the playback works better.
Thanks for all the comments.
