Repeat Barlines Won't Work - v2.02
Any idea why the repeat barlines won't work in the attached file?
I have the "Play Repeats" button pressed at the top of the MuseScore window, and I have tried quitting and restarting MuseScore.
Exported as XML and played on Finale, the repeats in this song work just fine.

Repeats ok on my Win 7 PC with MS 2.0.2
What exactly happens on your version?

Same here...working without problems.
Have you got "Play Repeats" enabled in the toolbar?

When I play this song, it simply plays once through to the end. It's as if the repeat bars are not there. I tried removing and replacing them, but there was no change. I have the Play Repeats button at the top pressed.
Why would the XML exported from this song play properly in Finale, yet the song itself not play properly in MuseScore.
I'm using a Mac running Yosemite OS 10.10.5.

I really thank you.
From 2019 to 2016 :-)
Somebody previously reported an issue with the repeats button basically working backwards, though this is supposed to be fixed in 2.0.2: https://musescore.org/en/node/65641

Thanks, Zack.
I just tried un-pressing the Repeats button, but it didn't change anything.
Do you have a Mac that you can try this out on? (The Windows users say it works fine.)

I just played it on my El Capitan 2010 MacBook Pro—the repeat was played.
When completely stumped in situations like this, more often than not reverting to factory settings makes the problems go away.

Works fine on my Linux syste, as well.

Reverting to factory settings made the repeats work for the small song fragment I uploaded, but when I tried it on the entire song, the repeats again failed to function.
I even tried reverting to factory setting a 2nd time, but the result was the same.
Here is the entire song file. The repeat starts at bar 113.
Does it work for you?

Your full score fails to repeat because it has errors elsewhere. In particular, there are around 200 overlapping DS elements at measure 43. Was this score by chance imported from MusicXML? Perhaps the input file had errors, or something went wrong during import. Or were there linked parts at one time that you tried deleting invididual staves from? There is a known bug that can occasionally cause something like this in those cases.
Anyhow, to fix it, right click one of the overlapping DS markings in measure 43, Select / All Similar Elements, press Delete, and they are gone, and then your repeat measure works.

Hello,
in measure 43, there are MANY dalsegno-signs. If you delete them, the repeat ist playing!

In reply to Hello, in measure 43, there by Pentatonus
Thank you to both Marc and Pentatonus.
I stopped counting at 50 D.S. (and also some S.) signs - all at measure 34.
As suggested, I used "Select All Similar Elements" to delete them en mass.
Now the repeats bar lines work properly.
To answer Marc, this song file came from a paper score belonging to our community chorus, scanned to PDF, then "recognized" by SmartScore X2 Pro, and exported as MusicXML into MuseScore. there is no "D.S" anywhere in the paper score, or in the SmartScore recognized file. So I don't know how it got into the MusicXML file and into MuseScore.
As mentioned before, the MusicXML file exported from this same MuseScore file did play properly in Finale. I just looked and I see no D.S. signs appearing in Finale at measure 43.
After this, I went back to the SmartScore file, and exported a 2nd MusicXML file. When I imported that file into MuseScore, there were no D.S. signs at measure 43, and the repeats at the end of the song worked properly.
I can only conclude that, as Marc suggests, something went wrong during the export or import process of the original MusicXML file.

I am having this same problem. I installed MuseScore today, created a one-page score with a single staff. I had several short repeats using barlines, none worked. I replaced some with the repeat-measure symbol and only kept a couple 4-measure repeats, no difference. I have tried all the suggestions on the knowledgebase here (deleted/recreated repeats, reset to defaults, tested reverse-toggle). I also created a new blank 3-measure file with a 2-measure repeat and it doesn't work either.
I also notice that the "number of repeats" option in the Measure Properties is not selectable.
I have Windows 7 Pro x64 and v2.02.

One of the offending scores
I have the same problem with "Malaguena" Arr. Antoine W. Bedrane, in measures 57-63. It does not repeat at m60 in my modified version. Here is what I did,
There must something wrong in the copy and paste because I played the score (https://musescore.com/user/7000601/scores/4855019) within the Musecore Site and the repeats worked fine.
Any comments?
Salvador,
