How do I use efficient repeats in sheets for pop music?

Question

I'm transcribing some music with the following structure:

Intro AB AC AB AC Outro

How in can I notate this structure with repeats and codas? Or do I just have to write it all out?
I'm using MuseScore.

You could try something like this, using just repeat signs and volta brackets:

               |-1.,3.-|-2.,4.-|
|| intro ||: A |  B   :|| C   :|| outro ||

If the parts are relatively simple, you could even print the B-line and C-line in the same measures, with the "1,3" and "2,4" annotated next to each. It's a style and readability choice.
