    Default Multiple repeats and multiple endings

    I would like ireal to go around the first 16 bars four times and then play the last four bars once. I have a 'first time' 2 bars at the end of the first section and a 'second time' at the start of the final four bars. I have inserted 4x inside the repeat bars. Ireal won't play 4x the first section no matter what I do. Any ideas anyone?

    For help with a chart, always post your chart (iRp format) along with your request so folks can take a look at it in the editor.

    As you discovered, indicating multiple repeats using text (4x etc.) within repeat brackets does not work with a 1st ending.
    You can remove the 1st/2nd ending indications, make the last 4 a coda, and use 4x as in the example chart (set player to 2x) or instead adjust the number of repeats using the player repeat setting as explained in the chart.

    16 Bars 4x then with different Last 4 at end - Example

    I also tried using first and second time bars instead of the coda.

    This chart will work IF...
    1. Set player repeats to 2x
    The first repeat will play the 16 four times, the second (Final) repeat plays to the first coda-sign and jumps to the coda
    AND
    2. MOVE THE FIRST CODA-SIGN ONE SPACE EARLIER.

    I want a part of my song to repeat 4 times, but the 4th time with a different ending.

    Why this does not play like I described in the iReal editor ?

    Please post your full chart so we can see it in context and know how much space on the page we have available.

    (Except for the "4x”) your use of text under the blank ending indicators is clear... for the reader, but not the iRp player.

    I need to know, how do you "make the last 4 a coda"? I apparently did as same as you with a song, but the coda works in the 1st loop and ends. How do you decide when the coda works? I see no difference between your example and my try, thank you.
