Description
Problem
Creating proper playback for repeats with voltas involving any more than a first and second volta is unintuitive. See the handbook page for an example:
Task
Make it easier to specify volta structures. We should work on this at the same time as https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/19994.
