How can I make a 1–3 repeat ending jump to Verse 1, then Verse 2, then Verse 3?
I'm trying to notate the repeat structure for a song in MuseScore 4 Studio.
1. Ending of chorus before 3 verses
2. Ending of chorus after 3 verses
3. The 3 verses, all different melodies
The structure is:
Chorus → Verse 1 → Chorus → Verse 2 → Chorus → Verse 3 → Chorus
The chorus has a 1–3 ending labelled 'to Verses', as shown in the first screenshot.
I have the three verses written separately:
- Verse 1 – melody
- Verse 2 – descant over the melody
- Verse 3 – descant over the melody
At the end of each verse I have a D.S., which sends the music back to the chorus.
The problem is that when the chorus reaches its 1–3 ending, MuseScore always goes back to Verse 1. I want it to behave like this:
First time: Chorus → Verse 1 → D.S. → Chorus Second time: Chorus → Verse 2 → D.S. → Chorus Third time: Chorus → Verse 3 → D.S. → final refrain/end
Is there a way to achieve this using MuseScore's repeat/volta/D.S. functionality, so that the 1–3 ending automatically selects Verse 1, Verse 2, and Verse 3 on successive passes?
Or does MuseScore require a different repeat structure for this?
I've attached screenshots showing the chorus ending and the three verses.
Edit: I realize that linking the full score might help. My Soul Magnifies the Lord
