I'm not entirely sure how you want your example to play.Quote:

There are many ways to write what you want the musician (and player) to play. Which I would choose depends on the context of the whole chart.
So, for help with a part of a chart, please post the entire chart so we can see the issue in its correct context. (Even if you need to split the chart into two pages.
While non-standard work-arounds may cause the player to act in a specific way, they can be confusing to a musician.
(eg. Starting with a 2nd ending without a 1st ending)
Here are examples of ways to get your phrases to play as (I think) you might want.
Note that I condensed the second phrase slightly to keep the chart neat and square.
To determine how much more various elements in the chart would need to be condensed, the whole chart must be considered.

Thanks Bob. Your example was helpful. I want it to play like the last system you coded: stay within the brackets two times, then leave them after 2. measure to play the end. Your code is clear, but requires more space. Normally in sheets that is expressed in a "1-2" under the first volta and a "3" under the second, that leads to fine. As this obviously is not possible in ireal (as you showed me)one has to do your shown workaround with three (waste) volta brackets. Pitty that ireal does not understand my example: Play the repeats until the "2" matches the volta-repeat, in third repeat choose "3." volta bracket.Quote:

So you helped me, thank you!
(Will be back soon with the D.S. to xx ending issue, which is quite inscrutable to understand, as ireal deals it and reacts.)
What 1word (and I, that's what brings me to this thread) needs is something quite commonly encountered in scores. Has anyone made this feature request yet? It'd be great to be able to use voltas the way they were intended to work!
I would expect this to work:Quote:

No. It plays one repeat (I want two repeats), then continues in bracket 3.Quote:

This is the silly way, ireal understands it:

Well, at least this makes the intentions very clear :) .
It would be nice if IRP could understand ——1.2.—:|| ——3.—||
Hi sciurius,
How can do something like this, eg

4x

For help with a chart, POST YOUR CHART IN iRp FORMAT DIRECTLY FROM YOUR APP.
That way it can be opened directly in the chart editor by a helpful member.
(What you want to do is easy)

See if this plays the way you had in mind.

I'm still confused about how to insert "3x" in the bar before the repeat bar (:|). When using an android tablet, what's the procedure for repeating bars within repeat-bars 3 times?
"3x" is placed using textQuote:

Thanks. It was the 'text' insertion part that I hadn't grasped. Got it now.
