Multiple repeat voltas stumbling block
After too much time I have still not been able to get my multiple repeat voltas working. I'm okay with a different second ending repeat volta but the ones in this piece have me stymied. I don't know whether this also has any bearing on why my other redirections within the piece are also not working.

The 1st repeat has a repeat cound of 2, but you want 3 (for the 3rd volta)
The 2nd to last repeat's volta 4 has a repeat list of 0, you'd probably need 4.
The D.C. al Coda is lacking a To Coda, so won't play at all.
And if you want it to play the repeats too, you'd need to enable that via Inspector

Thanks for the rapid response. I've added the 'To Coda' and that works as it should.
I've also made the amendments to the number of repeats in the 'inspector' (which incidentally can't be initiated on my Mac with F8 as it crashes MuseScore).
The repeats are still not working correctly and it must simply be my misinterpretation of the repeat list syntax.
This is what I have entered in the respective repeat lists for these bars;
Bar 17: 1, 2, 3
Bar 18: 3
Bar 30: 1, 2, 3, 4
Bar 32: 4
I have also tried omitting the spaces between the comma and the next digit to no avail.

The number of repeats is nothing you set via Inspector, but via right-click into the measure with the end repeat barline and the measure properties
The voltas' repeate lists were largly correct, they should be (as per the voltas' visual text):
Measure 17: 1,2
Measure 18: 3
Measure 30-31: 1,2,3
Measure 32-35: 4

Fantastic, thanks Jojo. I've sure learned a lot today. I thought I read that the repeat count had to be +1 somewhere in the manual. Amended piece attached and all works as it should. I will use this piece as my example to refer to should I ever be in the same situation again.
Thanks again.

The measures' repeat count need to be the grand total of all voltas for that repeat
