Fine doesn't stop playback when it is at the end of a section.
I have a score (no repeats or voltas) with a D. S. al fine instruction but the playback doesn't stop at the fine. I made a small test score (attached) and realized that fine doesn't work as expected if it is placed at the end of a section. Is that meant to be so? Is there a way to solve the problem? I need section breaks in my score. Thank you!

Your assumption is wrong and this can be shown by moving the Fine forward two measures as in this example.
What you're witnessing is an artefact of cross-section jumps; while MuseScore treats/interprets each section as if it is its own score when interpreting repeats.
What is likely happening (I'd have to recheck the code for this) is the following:
1. The first section is interpreted; no repeats/jumps to process; we continue with the next section.
2. The 2nd section is interpreted; the jump is honored and executed until the Fine is hit; we continue with the next section
3. The 2nd section is interpreted again (because the Fine was in the first section, a new section was found); the jump is now ignored because it already has been processed for this score; we stop processing when hitting end of score.
I think we can fix this without breaking normal inner-section jumps and Fine markers by comparing the section we end in with the section we started processing; but would have to see whether that breaks any of the existing scenarios or not.
In reply to Your assumption is wrong and… by jeetee
Thank you for the explanation, everything is clear now.
I can use a system break instead of a section break at that point, but then I won't get long staff names after the break, nor pauses. Perhaps there will be a way to solve this problem, thank you for looking into this matter.
