I'm using Finale 27.3.0
I'm a little rusty with Finale, and in a bit of a time crunch with this song. I'd appreciate some quick advise about whether the correct playback for this song is possible, and how to set it up.

It's a children's song with cumulative verses, so each verse repeats a certain section an additional time each round.

The title, which isn't on the song yet, is "Had A Little Rooster."

It's not essential that it play correctly, it's just a learning aid for a songbook, and many people know the song. But if it can be set up, I'd like to do it.

I tried attaching the image at the link above, but pop up said it was too big. It's only 437 kb...

Thanks, Molly

Take a look at the attached Finale document.

I could be wrong, but I think that the repeat playback is as needed.

The playback is done with hidden repeats.
Depending on the settings in the Preferences you may - on the computer screen (not in the print) - see the hidden repeats displayed in pale colour.
