Currently, the setting of play count for repeats is done in the measure properties window of the measure in which the repeat barline appears. But that isn't really a property of that measure in itself. It would be more logical to do that setting as a property of the barline.
Comments
This has come up quite often. Might be something to consider for MuseScore 4
Surely needs to maintain compatibility, like reading the measure's play count and setting the barline's play count from that, possible storing both, esp. when doing this for MuseScore 3.6 already.
Might come with an additional optional text on top of that barline, denoting that play count, e.g. "4x" or 4*" or "4 times" or just "4", maybe even only if play count is not 2 (the default).
