I can send files via email to demonstrate this too.
In 4/4 time make five bars, whole notes,
A B C D E Crescendo will play through one time
But now use begin repeat (br) and end repeat (er) o play
A B C D A B C D E
You will write it as
(br) A B C D (er) E but this will play as
A B C D A B C D E
Now how can you play back
A B C D A B C D A B [NO C D HERE] E without recoding the whole thing? Use Notation and Volta from the menu
insert Volta 1.,2.
over C AND D
(br) A B C D (er)
The replay is
(br) A B [enter volta 1st time] C D (er) [wraps back to start of line (br) A B [enter volta 2nd time] C D (er) [wraps back to start of line (br) A B [but CANNOT re-enter 1.,2. volta a 3rd time and bounces out to E
Thus it plays as
A B C D A B C D A B E
The entry point in Crescendo is a counter. In my case, a broken counter that will not do a Volta 1.,2. in the bar 55 and 56, as it is supposed to do. I have to write is as
insert Volta 1. [ONLY] And create a NEW BAR to place Volta 2.
over C AND D Again over C D
(br) A B C D (er) C D (er
The replay is
(br) A B [enter volta 1. 1st time] C D (er) [wraps back to start of line (br) A B [CANNOT enter volta 1, so jumps to Volta 2] C D (er) [wraps back to start of line (br) A B [but CANNOT re-enter Volta 1. NOR Volta 2., thus bounces out to E
So, it plays as
A B C D A B C D A B E
I should not have to write goofy extra bars to end run a counter problem
