volta

• May 12, 2025 - 17:03

I have Hymn arrangement of a three verse hymn. Verses 1 and 2 are included in the first volta, and verse 3 is in the second volta. During playback the first 2 verses play back fine, but on verse 3 there if just ....silence. Nothing. I've checked the handbook and youtube but it doesn't address this problem.

Right-click in the measure (not on any note/rest, but on empty space in the measure) and click Measure properties... (or Bar properties..., if you have a UK version). On the Measure Properties (or Bar Properties) dialog, look at Play count (highlighted in the screenshot below). To play three times, the Play Count must be 3.

If that's not the problem, please attach the score (.MSCZ file) to your post. If you don't know How To attach a file, click the link.

"Play count" of measure 17 must be "3", but is "2" (measure properties).

"Repeat list" of Volta 1 must be "1,2", but is "1". The text in the Volta is correct, but this has no function for Musescore, only for the musicians.

The repeat list of Volta 2 is correct with "3".
