Another two ways to do this, if youd like to skip those bars during playback, instead of just muting them, are:
Text tab>Styles>Text Styles> Common>Repeat (D.C./D.S./To Coda)
"Skipping bars
In some circumstances, you may not want a particular bar to play back at all. For example, your score may start with a prefatory staff (such as a “handbells used” chart), or you may have a guitar fill box on one page of your score, and you would prefer these bars not to play back.
This is easy to arrange, using system text to form a pair of “markers” – one text object to set the place you want to jump from, and another to set the place you want to jump to:
* Decide on a name for your pair of markers;it doesn’t matter what itis.For the sake of argument, let’s use the word “cat”.
* At the end of the bar immediately preceding the bar(s) you don’t want to play, create a new Repeat (D.C./D.S./To Coda) text object, consisting of the words “jump to” and the name of your marker, e.g. jump to cat
*At the start of the bar you want playback to jump to, create a new Tempo text object,consisting of the word “marker” and the name of your marker, e.g. marker cat.
You will probably not want either text object in your marker pair to appear when you print, in which case you can either select them and hide them (using Home > Edit > Hide or Show) or by inserting a tilde character (~) at the start of each text object, which will hide it.
Sibelius will always obey a marker pair when it encounters it during playback, i.e. like all system text objects, they ignore the Play on pass checkboxes."

"Manual repeats playback
Play tab > Interpretation > Repeats > Manual Repeats playback
For advanced users only
In scores with very complex repeat structures (e.g. songs with more than one coda), Sibelius’s automatic interpretation of the repeats in the score may not be sufficient. If you find this is the case, choose Play > Interpretation > Repeats and choose Manual repeats playback.
This allows you to specify the exact order in which the bars in the score are played back by typing ranges of bar numbers in a comma separated list. Sibelius displays the current automatic playback sequence to get you started, and you can go back to the automatic sequence by clicking Restore Default Order.
If you have multiple songs, pieces or movements within the same score, leave a blank line between each set of bar numbers corresponding to a single song, piece or movement to tell Sibelius to play a gap there.
In scores that use bar number changes, or whose first bar is not numbered 1, beware that the Play > Interpretation > Repeats dialog requires you to use internal bar numbers, i.e. counting all bars in the score only once, and the first bar in the score, even if it is a pick-up (upbeat) bar, is number 1.
Beware also that if you add or delete bars, you should return to Play > Interpretation > Repeats and update the list of bars to ensure that they are still played in the correct order."
