In Sib***** an unsolved problem over decades: how to tie the note before ending 1 to the first note in ending 2, is there a solution in Dorico?
There’s only a workaround, for now. You can use the new editable note spacing in Engrave mode to create some extra space before the first note in ending 2, then add a Shift-X text item using Bravura Text and copy+paste a suitable glyph. I have used the laissez vibrer symbol from Browse the glyphs | SMuFL for this purpose before.
Actually, that problem was solved long ago in S**s! (And probably will not take long to achieve in Do!)

You mean a workaround?
Is there already a way to input this without having to work around it in engrave mode as described above?
There’s a much better workaround now that LV ties can be achieved from the properties panel. Add an LV tie then drag it backwards in Engrave mode.
I assume this workaround in Engrave mode will not actually play back the note tie to ending 2?
Is that on the roadmap by any chance?
Unsurprisingly workarounds don’t magically produce correct playback. We certainly plan to support items crossing repeat endings in future, both graphically and in playback, but it’s not something that we’re working on right at this moment.
Wow! …8 years and the problem is still unsolved.
I just ran into it today in the following context:
Obviously this is excerpted from a larger score in which the repeat makes musical sense.
This kind of works, but at some point the playback just stops. Also if I want to edit this long pedal point in some way, it’s hard to do, because the entire example is essentially a single note.
Hey!
What do you want to do to to the note? Easiest world be to invoke the caret and place items using that!
B.
The playback stops two measures early because Dorico calculates the played duration of the tied note without regard for the repeated section. To solve this problem, you can select the tied note and set the property Playback end offset.
The playback end offset is measured in ticks, and Dorico uses 480 ticks per quarter note. By default, the played duration of a normal long note is equal to its notated duration minus five percent of the duration of a quarter note. In your example, the playback end offset of the tied note should be set to 7.95 × 480 = 3816.

Suppose I’ve decided that I don’t want to hold that same note indefinitely and change it to another note during one measure. I’ve found it hard to do that because Dorico treats the entire pedal point as a single note. That means I can’t select part of it; it’s all or nothing.
Show the caret somewhere in the duration of the note (double-click the staff, but not the note itself, to show the caret at that position), and hit U to cut the note at that position.
