I believe this would be a great Idea an must be added in Muse-score. It would be a nice addition for solos, or soli. It would add a nice touch to your music without the hassle of having to expand your music and copy and paste the whole section again,just to change one part in the music.
Also it would be great to have an automatic chord generator, for making improvised solos in jazz, but that's far-fetched so it's just an Idea.
Thank you.

FYI, the "Assigned" setting is used to indicate when somebody is taking the responsibility of coding it into MuseScore. I've unassigned you, on the assumption that you're not taking on that responsibility. If you are offering to write the code, please go ahead and reassign yourself.
As a former Sibelius user, this is the feature I miss most (and would use regularly, as would my band mates). If memory serves, the Sibelius 6 implementation assigned a playback property in notes to a number of times that would apply to repeats (something like 6 or 7) and all would be checked by default, however just unchecking the first one would make the playback tacet first time. Not sure if it's appropriate to deploy the same methodology directly, but I thought I'd share this as a reference point. Thanks!

+1 I would also like this feature. Obviously there's nothing wrong with unrolling repeats but it would be quite elegant to have this tied into playback.
+1; would remove the need to create a duplicate of the score just to unroll repeats for correct audio export, but to keep the compact score visually intact for human readability.

Just ended up here as well searching for exactly this feature, thanks for considering!

though generalized so it can also be used to specify "first time only"

Generalized so it can be used like this
1. tacet
2. p, 8va
3. f
4. f, 8vb
+1, also found this thread looking for a way to do this
Having something like the RepeatList property of a Volta on other elements could be a possible (but perhaps not too user friendly) way.
+1 for sure! I've found myself wanting this feature multiple times.
Yet another +1 on this. I'm surprised it hasn't been implemented (or announced as unimplementable) by now, after almost 7 years.
I had a fairly decent approach started by 3.5, but we'll have to see how much of the approach will still be valid with the new playback engine workings of 4.0...
Agreed. I have numerous scores where (a) the dynamics are different in second (or third...) repeat or (b) are 8va in the second repeat. Having a feature supporting this would be far superior to unrolling repeats.
???
+1, definitely!
Frequency = Few strikes me as odd; a significant number of wind band scores has this.
The unroll "workaround" would be seen as completely out-of-the-question there - when, of say 30 instruments, 1 (piccolo) to maybe 5 (some woodwinds) would play some countermelody in the 2nd round.
H.M.

This is quite common when writing songs and there are verses repeated with different lyrics and small modifications to adapt to the syllables, but the instruments have no such modifications and therefore a simple repetition is enough for them.
If the verses are long, the unrolling workaround makes the parts of the instruments unnecessarily long too.
It would be great to select notes and be able to choose not only if play them or not (which is already possible) but also in which repetitions.

Would be useful if in the properties tab for each note / item there was a way to turn on/off in any given repetition.
+1. Having to copy-paste a bar for a second repeat is confusing and invites errors.
+1, Would be an amazing feature to have

I prefer scores that are as concise as possible.
I'm currently using the repeats with small notes/chords above, and the mention "2nd time only", but I can only choose to play the notes all the time, or never.
+1 for having this.
As a side note, it's possible to have this on musescore.com, by first creating and uploading an unrolled version WITH sound export, then adding that URL as source for the original file and uploading it WITHOUT sound export. I've just tried it on this https://musescore.com/user/27683639/scores/10064866 for the ritardando on the second repeat at the end.
Just coming here to add my +1 for this.
+1, I don't want to copy the entire score just to have the desired playback.
That's one of the possible workarounds though
Anyway, as this issue tracker here is being discontinued better report it on GitHub
This is important for vocal scores, so my plus 1
As this issue tracker here has been discontinued, re-request this on GitHub
For those interested, an issue has been created in github
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/19994
Consider reacting there!

Setting status to "git-hub issue" indicates that the issue has been entered into the tracking system in git-hub and that further information/suggestions/offers to submit a PR should be recorded there. This forum thread is redundant - until the issue is fixed when its status can be changed to "fixed".
