How to make a da capo or dal segno playback include repeats in MuseScore?
I'm currently writing on musescore, and I have a problem getting the desired playback using dal segno: the second time through, repeat signs are ignored.
According to this link, inner repeats in a dal segno section don't get taken the second time through. If this is true, is there some sort of standard way to make a dal segno include repeats?
Also, can I just copy-paste the segno section or is this a less accepted way to do it?

A pragmatic answer: if there is a way to notate that repeats are to be played on D.C. or D.S., it is not well known. I'm not saying there is no such standard, only that it is not widespread.
The best you can do is to write it out: "D.S. with repeats", or "D.S con repetizione" if you prefer italian.
To get playback of repeats within a dal segno section...
In a score like this,
select the jump indicator (here, the "D.S."), and in the Element Inspector, check the "Play repeats" option. (the F8 key toggles the Inspector on Windows.)
Verified in MuseScore 3.5.2.
