General Discussion / Repeat whole song including repeats
This problem is really bugging me:

I have a song with repeat sections in the verse marked by Master Repeats and 1st & 2nd time endings.
I then go through to the chorus and want to repeat the whole thing.
Either using a Master Repeat at the end or a DC I get back to the start (though the lyrics think it's verse 1)
But when it gets to the First Special Ending everything stops dead.  End of.

How do I get it to go through a second time, for verse 2 with all the repeated sections.
(by the way, local repeats won't work because they can't have special endings!)

PS  If I put 1 & D by the first Special Ending, it then, on the repeat goes through this to the first master close repeat, but again stops dead.

Help!

General Discussion / Arpeggiated Chords and inserting images
Hi there,
much of the discussion about how to get around not having arpeggiated chords is how to make them sound. However, I could live without hearing them.  What I want is to be able to show them on the staff.

Would it be possible to have an "insert image" command?  or "insert gif"  Then I could draw my wiggly line, save it as a gif, and place it where I want it.

General Discussion / flow & endings extreme frustration now urgent!
Here is what I want to do - maybe someone can help me do it...
intro (4 bars repeated with local repeat) [this always works fine]
verse 1 + verse 2 with different ending (Master repeat with special ending 1)
Chorus with different ending (Master repeat with special ending 1)

Back to start through the whole thing again, and then to a coda:  da capo al coda
Intro
THIS time, FIRSTLY the lyrics shows lyric liens 1 & 2 again instead of 3 & 4 - why?
ALSO none of the repeats work except the local one in the intro - How do I get it to do the whole thing again?
When I get to the Coda even the repeat in the coda doesn't work.  How do I get there to be a repeat in the coda - not a local repeat, but one with two endings?
If I use a D special ending, okay - it plays that bar, but then still won't repeat!

THEN at the end of the Coda I want go back to the intro to end.
So da capo al fine.
But it won't go back!

I am at my wits end...
Obviously I can write out the music and explain it to our band, but I want to be able to send them an mp3 tomorrow so they can hear the music and make sense of the score without me.  But I can't do this if the score won't play as I want it to!

General Discussion / old files wont open in 2.5
I've just put 2.5 on my laptop and I can't open any of my old files in it.
If I go on my desktop, everything works.

Does anyone know why this should be? - and how to solve it?
