You've added the volta only to the piano staff, that's pretty unusual, normally it would be on the top staff only for the score but then all parts - and that does work. So, add the volta to the top staff and it works. I suppose we allow you to add additional "fake" copies of the volta in the score because some people like to do this even though it isn't required, but deliberately don't copy those to the parts because then you'd have two copies - one generated from the "real" volta at the top of the score, another from the "fake" one on the individual staff.

Aha. Thanks Marc, you are always so helpful. Tolerant also, I would say. :)

I just assumed it would automatically apply it everywhere.

It seems to me a bug in terms of traditional practice.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, or not explaining myself clearly. But the score you posted seems not at all traditional practice. I've never seen a score for multiple instruments but a volta on only one staff buried in the middle. Traditional practice is to have the volta on the top staff. It can optionally be repeated on some of the lower staves - completely unnecessary, but some people do indeed like to do this - but it is never( in my experience omitted from the top staff.

So, if you follow traditional practice and include the volta on the top staff, all works out well, and continues to work out well whether or not you elect to also repeat the volta on other staves.

Yep. I was just sloppy with the placement.
