Selection of staffs
I posted this in the "support and bugs" forum and received no reply. Perhaps I should have posted it in this forum area. I love the feature of Musescore 4 that allows you to select several staves by simply clicking on the empty space of the first staff, holding the shift key, and then simply clicking on the empty space of another staff to select all of the staffs vertically. But, what if you want to leave one staff off? e.g. If you want to select Soprano, alto, tenor and bass, you click on the empty space of "soprano" and the empty space of "bass." All four staves are then selected. But what if you only want to select "soprano," "tenor," and "bass," leaving "tenor" unselected. In many programs, you can use the CONTROL key instead of the SHIFT key and select only the elements you want. Is there a way to do this in Musecore 4. I know you can go into the Mixer and mute the tenor track, but it would be nice if you could simply use the CONTROL key. Am I missing something simple?

this is a feature i would greatly appreciate
AFAIK all the same people read the forums. It only makes a little difference where you post something. People post questions about how to do something in the "Made with MuseScore" forum.
No, this isn't possible yet. It wasn't until late in MU3 that you could select adjacent staves.

I am using 3.6.2 and can't seem to select even adjacent staves. At the beginning of any staff, I don't find any "empty space" to click in. I can only select a certain element (which of course doesn't help).

Zoom in first

I have zoomed to 400% without success.
I also opened a score in MU4 and don't see where I should click.
A screen shot would be helpful.

Screenshots seem to not record the mouse arrow.
Shift+Down works too BTW

Thank you for trying to help. What I want to do is make all staves small in one step rather than having to right-click in each staff, but perhaps it is simply not possible.

No, it isn't and never was.
Right click one staff > staff properties > Small staff > Apply > Down Arrow > Small staff > Apply ... OK

If you want to make ALL the staves small and everything else like titles as well you can use Format>Page settings and reduce the scaling.
