1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,073
If you'd like to set up 
repeats in MuseScore 4,

2
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:10,240
first open the "Repeats & jumps" palette.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,080
If you can't see this palette, you’ll find 
it by clicking on the "Add palette" option

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,515
and pressing this "Add" button 
to move it to the main list.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,472
Now you simply select the bar where 
you want the repeat ending to occur,

6
00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:24,286
or you can select the 
desired bar line itself,

7
00:00:24,286 --> 00:00:27,264
and then select the appropriate 
repeat symbol to add it.

8
00:00:27,264 --> 00:00:30,720
I now want to specify that the 
repeat should begin on bar 2,

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,134
so I'll add the appropriate 
repeat symbol here as well.

10
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:37,701
Now if you press play, you'll see 
the playhead jumping back to bar 2

11
00:00:37,701 --> 00:00:39,289
as it should do.

12
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:41,690
You can switch on and off 
the playback of repeats

13
00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:46,305
by selecting this settings button 
and toggling the "Play repeats" option.

14
00:00:46,305 --> 00:00:50,379
If you want to set volta brackets, 
often referred to as repeat endings,

15
00:00:50,379 --> 00:00:53,684
you can also find these in
the "Repeats & Jumps" palette.

16
00:00:53,684 --> 00:00:58,438
Using these, I can specify which bars 
are played and excluded on each repeat.

17
00:00:58,438 --> 00:01:02,181
I'm going to place this first 
volta bracket before the repeat,

18
00:01:02,181 --> 00:01:05,812
meaning that this bar will be played the 
first time around.

19
00:01:05,812 --> 00:01:09,484
I'll now place a second volta bracket 
after the repeat marking.

20
00:01:09,484 --> 00:01:14,076
This means that the second time around, the
playback will skip over the first volta bracket

21
00:01:14,076 --> 00:01:17,332
and jump straight to the 
second volta bracket instead.

22
00:01:17,433 --> 00:01:19,537
If you wish to extend a volta bracket,

23
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:23,491
it’s advisable to use the generic keyboard 
shortcut for extending a line:

24
00:01:23,491 --> 00:01:26,640
holding Shift and pressing the Arrow key.

25
00:01:27,474 --> 00:01:32,873
Another useful element in the "Repeats & Jumps" 
palette is this "Repeat last bar" symbol.

26
00:01:32,873 --> 00:01:37,009
By adding this symbol to a bar, it will 
repeat the previous bar during playback.

27
00:01:37,499 --> 00:01:40,661
Lastly, there are the 
Segno and Coda elements,

28
00:01:40,661 --> 00:01:43,399
which are also found in the 
"Repeats & jumps" palette.

29
00:01:44,049 --> 00:01:47,444
Let's start with the Segno element,
and add it to this bar.

30
00:01:47,444 --> 00:01:50,536
And then let's tell the player to go 
back to that Segno marking

31
00:01:50,536 --> 00:01:56,696
later in the score, by adding a Dal Segno
(or D.S for short) element here.

32
00:01:57,042 --> 00:02:01,000
Now, if we want to add a Coda jump too, 
we can alter this setup.

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,938
Let's first place our Coda symbol 
on a bar near the end of the score.

34
00:02:04,938 --> 00:02:11,785
Next, let's delete that Dal Segno element and 
replace it with the Dal Segno, al Coda element.

35
00:02:11,785 --> 00:02:15,950
Lastly, let's add a To Coda element here.

36
00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:18,489
Now the playback will 
follow the following logic:

37
00:02:18,489 --> 00:02:21,501
Once it reaches the 
Dal Segno, al Coda element,

38
00:02:21,501 --> 00:02:25,261
it will jump back to the bar with the 
Segno marking. From that point,

39
00:02:25,261 --> 00:02:29,060
it will play through again, until it 
reaches the To Coda marking,

40
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:32,296
which tells it to jump to the bar 
marked with the Coda symbol.

41
00:02:32,296 --> 00:02:35,892
