To create multiple passes for a repeat ending

1. Click the Repeat Tool  ; and highlight the measure(s) you want to place the ending above.
2. Right-click the highlighted region and select Create Ending. Or, from the Repeat menu, choose Create Ending. The Create Ending dialog box appears.
3. For Ending Numbers, enter the passes you want to include for this ending, separated by commas. If you want to add several consecutive passes, use a hyphen (for the image above, for example, you would enter “1-4”).
4. If you want playback to skip over these measures after the final pass and resume at the next ending, for Target, choose Next Ending. You can also specify a different target using the options in this drop-down menu.
5. If you want a backward repeat bar to appear at the end of this region (as shown above), ensure Create Backward Repeat Bar is checked. The backward repeat bar is defined to jump to the nearest forward repeat. To edit the target for a backward repeat bar, double-click its handle to open the Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box. Now, if you want to specify the staves in which you want this ending to appear, select or create a staff list in the Create/Edit Ending dialog box and Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box. 
6. Click OK. The ending appears in the score. Now, to create a final ending, do the following:
7. Right-click the measure following the ending you just created and choose Create Ending. Or, highlight the measure following the ending you just created, then from the Repeat menu, choose Create Ending.

9. For Target, click the drop-down menu and select Never Skip Ending.  
10. Uncheck “Create Backward Repeat Bar”.  
11. Click OK. Now, after the final pass of the ending defined earlier, playback will skip to this ending.
