Using that same piece, I want to add trombone notes starting at measure 3. When I select Measure Properties => (check) staff 2 --- the trombone staff does not appear.

r only copies the contents of the measure not the measure properties. MuseScore never copies entire measures. That's one of the reasons you can't copy a time signature in a measure.
For the trombone, you have Hide empty Staves checked in Format->Style. Since the Trombone is empty in m3 it's invisible.

That does not work. It remains invisible because there are no notes there yet. Try it on my first attachment.

It would be good if that were changed. It would be best if repeat overruled the invisible flag. Who would repeat if they wanted it to remain invisible?

Why marking it invisible in the first place? That has got nothing to do with "Hide empty staves"...
You are using the wrong tools and misusing the ones you are using.
If you open Measure properties and mark a measure invisible, it is always invisible until you change the setting in Measure properties.
If you want your score to automatically make empty measures invisible as in your picture, use the cutaway option in staff properties. This is a check box above the Advanced Style Properties... button.
If you want an entire empty staff to be hidden in a system, use Hide empty staves in Format->Style.
You will not normally use 1 & 2 together but you may use 3 with either of the others. I advise you to wait until all of your notes are entered to use 2 & 3 though this is not a requirement. If you force notes into a measure made empty in one of these ways it will become visible.

You didn't bother me, I was trying to explain the different tools MuseScore has available for making measures invisible so you will understand which one to use for your situation.

Understood. Thanks for the prompt responses!
