Volta goal: I need ending 1., 2. to repeat twice and continue to ending 3

Well, I should restate ...

Ultimately MuseScore's volta/repeat system proved workable but—when working in other notation apps—I've never had to think about a volta arrangement like the one I struggled with in the submitted score.

Two questions:

–––––  Regarding Text Line Details>Text and Volta>Repeat List  –––––

• When I add a 1st ending MuseScore automatically set Text Line Details>Text = 1
• When I add a 2nd ending MuseScore automatically set Text Line Details>Text = 2

Perfect!

But when I edit Text Line Details>Text to create something like = "1., 2." Volta>Repeat List stays as initially set ...

Is there any reason why, on edit, MuseScore would not initially "lock" Volta>Repeat List to Text Line Details>Text? That way, by default, an edited Text property defines the Repeat List. And that should save some confusion. (Under this scheme, of course, the user could "unlock" and override—but I don't see why one would want to.)

–––––   Regarding Measure>Play Count  –––––

Though I've read this a dozen times—and I can use the concept to get the desired result—I find the + 1 part defies logic.

The score submitted score proceeds like this

But achieving this required setting Measure 2>Play count = 3 (Ergo + 1)
But Measure 2 is never played 3 times. So cognitive dissonance ensues ... and I wonder why the 1.2. volta fails to suffice.

I hope to see some +1 responses!
