Staff-unique mixed meter preventing repeat signs from working

Will not let me place repeat

When I enter it via opt+enter, it places it but breaks repeats.

Am I missing something?

Should that possibly be opt+enter?

Yeah that’s what I meant — what’s weird is that the playback works correctly as written. But adding the repeat atop breaks the playback. I think it has something to do with the unique mixed meters

You appear to have local time signatures, which may be the complicating factor.

I figured it out, but it required fully starting over and being meticulous about how I enter the time-signatures. Irritating, but fixable

I’d be very interested to learn what you did differently, because I tried working on that file and didn’t discover a way to end up with working repeats.
