I thought for a while that I could see how I was going wrong. Not quite so.

I noted that Noel's tag was spaced four bars beyond the end of the chorus, allowing space between chorus and tag for a four bar ending. I tried similar and it's working better, but it still goes wrong a bit.

The good news is that by forcing four new bars between chorus and tag, when I then multiply up the number of choruses, I no longer get the tag inserted within second and subsequent choruses. The choruses play as they should.

Where it's still wrong is when I remove the auto-ending and play the tag, because the melody in that tag is no longer the melody that I'd imported. It seems to be something from within the chorus, but identifying exactly what will be tricky with many repeated similar melodic patterns and with the funny little few-bars window into the notation.

What I may now be able to do, though, is enter the correct melody into those bars. It looks like that should work, but editing notes on a notepad with a mousepad is a pain. I may be able to copy and paste, otherwise I'll wait until I have two screens or a paper copy.

So. The outcome is definitely better and looks like it may be a reasonable workaround for what still looks to me like multiple bugs in this area of the software/operation.
