Issues with volta playback

• Oct 10, 2024 - 19:58

Hi there, I'm trying to notate this piece, and the voltas are kind of messing up my playback. What I want, is for bars 90 - 91 to play 3 times, and then continue to bar 92. After that, I want bars 93 - 96 to play 3 times, and continue to bar 97. I've created the voltas for these, and they have the repeat lists set as 1,2,3 and 4, and 1,2,3 and 4. The play counts for the bars with the repeats have also been modified to be 4, as per the handbook instructions.

The issues I've been facing with the playback, are kind of strange, first off, the bars 90 - 91 play 4 times, not the 3 I'd like them to. Then, when reaching bar 93, the playback suddenly jumps to bar 97, and continues from there, totally skipping the section in between. I've tried modifying the repeat lists to be: 1,2,3 and 4 - 5,6,7 and 8, and that did fix some issues, but introduced new ones, such as playback stopping altogether at some points.

I'm not exactly sure how to proceed, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, so after a while of fiddling around, I managed to fix one of the issues. I modified the repeat lists to be 1,2 and 3, and 1,2 and 3, and I modified bars 91 and 96 play count to be 3. Now the bars 90 - 91 play 3 times, and then it continues 92, but the issue I'm still facing is that it totally still skips bars 93 - 96. I've added the updated version as an attachment.

Bars 90-92 can simply be set without voltas, but voltas are also possible. So you can delete bar 92 and set the play count of the bar 91 to 4.
You can also use voltas. The play count and the repeat list are fine in your first example (not in the second!), but the voltas must be shorter. See my attached example.
