To create a repeat with first and second endings

1. Click the Repeat Tool  ; then click the first ending measure to highlight it. If the first ending is longer than one measure, click the first measure of the first ending and the hold down Shift and click the last measure of the first ending so all measures you want to include in the first ending are highlighted.
2. Right-Click the region you just highlighted and choose Create First and Second Ending. The first ending, backward repeat barline, and second ending appear in the score. At this point during playback (upon reaching the backward repeat bar) Finale will go back to the closest forward repeat it finds, so we’ll add that next.
3. Right-Click the first measure of the repeated section and choose Create Forward Repeat. You could also double-click the measure, and double-click the forward repeat bar graphic. This section is automatically configured to playback correctly. Also, if any measures are inserted or removed from within the repeated section, Finale makes the appropriate adjustments so playback continues to jump to the correct measures as indicated by the repeat markings.

For more advanced repeat indication, such as nested repeats, to configure playback you may need to specify the target and number of passes for backward repeat bars manually. See Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box and Create Ending dialog box. 

Note: You can add the forward repeat before creating the first and second endings. The order for the last two steps isn’t crucial.
