Moving this from general questions to playback problems.

Ok, I've looked at the documentation, various tutorials, and posts, and still can't seem to make this short piece behave the way I'd like. Tune's structure is:

Verse ||: chorus (1st ending) :|| (second ending) | DC.

There are three verses (and 3 corresponding texts in the chorus, as well). So I need it to
Play verse 1. Play chorus 1. Repeat chorus 1. DC to ...
Play verse 2. Play chorus 2. Repeat chorus 2. DC to ...
Play verse 3. Play chorus 3. Repeat chorus 3. Stop.

Sibelius stubbornly stops after the repeat of chorus 2.
I have gone in with Inspector and set play-on-pass on the DC -- started with 3, currently set to 6 -- to no avail.

Your best best with this is to use a manual repeat structure. Set it up in Play-->Repeats-->Manual Repeats
