Creating a "For Rehearsal Only" Accompaniment in A Capella Music
I am trying to insert a piano accompaniment line underneath the vocal lines in my choral piece. However, I am unsure of how to make the piano accompaniment line smaller (see attached PNG). I would be okay with the accompaniment line at regular size if I knew how to fit two systems on a page with room to spare for direction marks. Can anyone help me with either issue?

To make a staff small, right click it, select staff properties and check the box next to small staff in the upper right portion of the window.

When I do this, it only makes the treble line of the piano smaller, and not the bass line.

Do the other staff also.

Then do the same for the bass line. If you need further help, please attach the actual score, not just a picture of it, and we can see what is going on.

I need to adjust the bottom line as well to be small.

As mentioned previously, right click it, Staff Properties, check Small. MuseScore allows you to set the size of the two staves independently - often a useful thing. But if you want both staves small, you need to set them both.

Why is that?

A piano has 2 staves. Properties are for 1 for various reasons.
To fit two systems on a page, you'll need smaller music or less space betwene staves or less space between systems. See the Handbook under "Page layout" to learn how these controls work. if you need further help, attach your actual score and we can advise better.
