# Casillas de repetición
Volta brackets are lines above the staff used to mark different endings for a repeated section. MuseScore Studio creates correct playback. In the example below, the repeated section is played once through with the ending marked "1.", then a second time with the ending marked "2.".
## Adding voltas to your score
1. Make sure that [repeat barlines](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/notation/repeat-signs#adding-repeat-signs-to-your-score) are in the correct position.
2. To apply the volta bracket, use one of the following:
* Select a measure and click on the desired volta in the **Repeats & jumps** palette, or
* Drag a volta from a palette onto a measure.
To change the range covered after the volta has been added, see [#changing-the-range-of-a-line](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/basics/adjusting-elements-directly#changing-the-range-of-a-line).
## Changing appearance of voltas
The appearance of voltas can be changed via the **Properties** panel. See [#volta-properties](#volta-properties), below. Note that changing the text is purely visual and does not affect playback.
## Changing playback of voltas
1. Select a volta in the score.
2. Go the **Properties** panel and find the **Volta** section.
3. Select the **Style** tab and edit the **Repeat list** value.
The **Repeat list** specifies which times through the music under the volta should be played. For example, a value of `1` means that the passage will be played only the first time, and will be skipped other times. `2` means it will be played only the second time.
If the volta is to be played more than once, you can enter a series of numbers separated by commas, e.g. `1,2,3`. In this case, you must also edit the end repeat's **Play count** property accordingly. See [#changing-how-often-to-repeat](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/notation/repeat-signs#changing-how-often-to-repeat). The play count is usually the number of **Repeat list** entries plus 1. For example:
This example plays back the measures in this sequence: 1–3, 1–2, 4–5, 1–3, 1–3, 1–2, 4–5, 1–2, 6–8.
To achieve this, the following properties are set:
* For Repeats:
* In measure 3, **Play count** is set to `4`
* In measure 5, **Play count** is set to `3`
* Voltas:
* In measure 3, **Repeat list** is set to `1,3,4` and **Beginning text** is set to `1., 3., 4.`
* In measures 4–5, **Repeat list** is set to `2,5` and **Beginning text** is set to `2., 5.`
* In measure 6, **Repeat list** is set to `6` and **Beginning text** is set to `6.`

To ignore all repeats during playback, see \[#ignoring-repeat-signs-during-playback]\(repeat-signs.md#ignoring-repeat-signs-during-playback).
{% endhint %}
## Volta properties
In the properties panel, there are two tabs for voltas: **Style** and **Text**.
The only option specific to voltas is **Style -> Repeat list** which is used to specify which repeats the volta applies to. See [#changing-playback-of-voltas](#changing-playback-of-voltas), above.
For all the other options in **Style**, see [#line-properties](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/expressive-markings/other-lines#line-properties). For the options in Text, see [entering-and-editing-text.md](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/text/entering-and-editing-text) and [formatting-text.md](https://handbook.musescore.org/es/text/formatting-text).
## Voltas style
Styles for voltas can be found in **Format -> Style -> Voltas**:
* **Vertical position:** The default position of the horizontal line of the volta.
* **Hook height:** The height of the vertical hook (note that if this value is close to or larger than **Vertical position** then this will determine the position of the whole item, as it will automatically move up to avoid colliding with the staff).
* **Line thickness:** The thickness of the line.
* **Line style:** Solid, dashed or dotted.
There are two options to control the alignment of the beginning of the volta:
* **At start of system, start volta:** This controls whether the vertical hook should start after or on the key signature. Note that this affects also affects the continuation of a volta line when it continues to a new system.
* **Align start hook:** This controls whether the vertical hook should align to the left or right side of the thick barline in a repeat.
Styles for the text under voltas can be found in **Format -> Style -> Text styles** under **Volta**.
