`Repeats in a Coda
I am pretty new to composing, but I am working on a piece with a coda and multiple sections with repeats. The playback only does the repats the first time around and doesn't when it plays through after the coda. Is there a specific notation for this or anything? Thanks!

Yes, that is the convention: repeats are not played after a D.C. or D.S..
To get it to play the repeats that second time around, highlight the D.C. or D.S. and go to the Properties tab at upper left. Immediately above the Text section is a checkbox to Play repeats. Check it and it will do what you want. Be aware that most musicians playing this will know NOT to play them.

But why is it going back to do a repeat after a coda? A coda is played at the and if a piece;
"coda" translates as "tail".
The order of playing jumps to the beginning of the coda when a To coda marking is encountered for the second time after returning to the start of the piece or to a segno in response to a DC al coda or DS al coda respectively. Once the coda is started It should not then return to anywhere earlier in the piece.
