When writing repetitions the line for First ending is not continuous.
I mean, as I selected 3 measures for First ending the line is supposed to be as long as 3 measures, but the second meausure of the 3 is withut the line above.
Thank you for your help.

Actually there is no need to connect the two ending brackets.
The layout is fine as it is - and impossible to mis-understand.
I would leave it as it is.
However, if the publisher insists that the two brackets should be connected, then I would connect them with the Smart Shape Tool, using the sub-tool Custom Line Tool.
See the attached .musx document.

Not sure what an .rar file suffix is, so without looking, I'm guessing all three measures in question are in the same system. Why not just extend the line in the Repeat tool from either to the other?

Thank you, at8ak,
That's the option I first thought of.
But I dis the one that Peter proposed and it looks well

The {custom Smart Shape line} solution has the advantage that the layout always works, no matter how the measures are distributed on the systems - the Smart Shape line automatically adjusts itself to the layout.
You can e. g have a long 1st ending of 9 measures, distributed across two (or more) systems, and the Smart Shape line always displays correctly as you adjust the layout.

.rar is a Stuffit extension. On a Mac, it opens with Stuffit Expander. I don't know what you would use on Windows, but I'm sure there is something!

Noted (no pun intended). Meanwhile, I looked at Peter's Custom Line file, and I love it in theory, but am only cautiously optimistic that alignment is easier than simply extending the front or back repeat bar line (which is, of course, a chore that must be postponed until very near the end of layout procedures). Looking forward to field-testing it, but it may be awhile, since the current client insists on having his music written linearly and with no repeats.
