Thank you, Lawrence and Gerald. I had fun trying to figure out how to solve the problem.
But even though my workaround is easy enough to accomplish, it certainly begs the question of why MakeMusic haven't built into the endings dialogs the option "Ignore this ending - jump to measure #[target measure]." I hope the MakeMusic people who monitor this list take this under advisement. The problem of using the "ignore repeats" in the Playback is that sometimes, as in this situation of Robert's, perhaps there is one first ending that should be ignored on playback but others that need to be taken. My solution solves that problem but it's a bother and should be an option in the repeat dialog. Thanks, David H.
