If the composer intends repeats to be observed, they had better communicate it in writing. Context also matters in the Minuet-Trio movement of a Mozart symphony, the "skip the repeats" rule is even more ironclad- unless some director has a pet theory or bit of evidence suggesting that in this one case it isn't. The plot thickens because occasionally composers or conductors ask for exceptions to this rule. So the "bug" in GuitarPro would appear to be that it observed the m. This source helps explain (note, wherever it talks about "first endings," the same is true for simple repeats), and the topic has been covered here as well (don't let the OP's initial confusion confuse you). sent you back to an earlier section of music, you should ignore repeats (which you would have observed the first time you encountered them). The overwhelming convention is, no, you should not. Should you observe repeats after a Da Capo or Dal Segno? This is a little bit trickier.If you need to do a lot of writing I might turn to another piece of notation software. This doesn't surprise me much I haven't used Guitar Pro, but it seems to me to be rather under-featured as a notational tool. 2, then it should also have observed the one in m. If, after using the "Dal Segno" to go back to the beginning, it observed the repeat in m. Is there a logical inconsistency in Guitar Pro's treatment of these repeats? Yes.There are still several questions here (though related enough that it counts as one).
