The mixer would not help a potential performer neither and this is the goal of a sheet music.

You can use dynamics to achieve this. Drag and drop a suitable dynamic from the dynamic palette to the staff, right click on it -> MIDI properties -> choose staff

I have seen so many questions on this forum posted by people who obviously know next to nothing about Music Theory. For example, the concept of voices on a staff. Maybe it would be useful to have some links to a few music theory pages on the web so these people could read before using Musescore.

I am sure there are many people who are keen to use Musescore to enter a score from printed music but not aware of the technicality of voices, staffs, dynamics, tempo, ties, slurs and so on.

It's possible to have many years of practical music experience, and to have read a fairly comprehensive introduction to music theory, without having come across this use of "voice". For example, "The AB Guide to Music Theory Part I" by Eric Taylor, which has been a standard British text book since 1989, does not mention "voice" except as a translation of "voce" (as in viva voce) or "voix". It does have examples of notation which would require the use of Voices within MuseScore. It also includes mentions of relatively rare notation such as cross-bar beaming, so it's not that Voices are too advanced to get a mention - more, I think, that the concept was not particularly relevant to most people before music notation software came on the scene.

I do, however, agree that links to music theory pages would be helpful to many people.
