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

    The only reasons to use notation devices like multiple endings, various repeat instructions (3x) DS, DC etc. are to save "ink"and chart space (because of the iRp single-page format) or to make the chart easier for a musician to read and follow.
    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.
