First, make sure your Musescore is up to date.

If you place a fine in the score from the palette, it should stop playback there. Then you can make it invisible.

And this seems easy once you read it: to skip over measures, place invisible D.C.s and segnos and/or to coda and coda marks.

If it's not behaving as expected, check that Musescore is up to date and also check the inspector for each element for a "play" checkbox. Make sure it is checked. There might also be special element properties that control playback that might have to be edited or verified.

MuseScore is now at v2.3.2. There seems no excuse for not having the latest version! But I don't think DS jumps and the like are a VERY new feature.

You can cheat MuseScore into skipping up to two sections of a score in playback.

Playback only halts at 'Fine' when it is coupled with a 'DC al Fine' or 'DS al Fine' instruction.

'DS' normally skips back. But MuseScore is happy for a 'DS' to skip forward as well. So we can place 'DS al Coda' at the beginning of a section to be skipped, '$' at the point to continue playing, then 'To Coda' and the Coda symbol to mark another skipped section. If you only want to skip one section, just.use 'DS' and '$'

These objects can be made invisible in the Inspector if desired. In the example, all the low F notes play, all the high F notes are skipped.

(Note to users of pre-2.2 versions of MuseScore. Earlier versions followed the 'no repeats after a DS' convention. A repeated section after the jump won't repeat. After 2.2 we became able to choose.)
