list of issues
1, When I close the file after changing cliffs and reopen the file my corrections are lost.
2. When I reopen my instruments default to piano.
3. When I reopen the changes made to score properties are lost.
4. When I add header and other text and reopen all text is lost.
5. When I reopen instrument names are shown twice.
The PDF was before closing and the mid is what is shown when I reopened. I hope there are fixes for these issues as it takes allot of time for edits.
Comments
Any and all help kindly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Where's the score itself?

Thanks for the response. I uploaded the pdf and the midi file, are you looking for the .mscz file?

OK, the instrument is piano, what did you want it to change to?
There's no instrument name shown twice, it isn't shown even once (but that is quite normal for a score with just one instrument)
Clef changes do save, when I do it. Most likely you are saving obe file and then opening another.

The PDF shows the instruments I used, this was exported from the MuseScore 3 software. Then I closed it and reopened.

I think in order to try to recreate what happened to you, we need a mscz file that we can open and will display like what you show in your PDF. The file you posted looks like a piano reduction.
And perhaps, the actual steps you used to get the results you posted.
When I import that MIDI file I get the attached score, quite different from your's

Thanks for the responses Yes that is my point, Leave it with me and I will recreate the file again. Do I need to save the mscz file each time I edit it? It is defaulting back to the first save I make or my original import.

The mscz file is the actual score file and is where MuseScore thus saves all its data of that score; it is also the file you should be reopening when wanting to continue your work.
A MIDI file contains basically the minimal playback instructions to reproduce a piece on a playback device; it doesn't contain any additional notation information; it doesn't differentiate between an F# and a Gb for example.

Thanks again, That may very well be the issue I'm having. So the program doesn't autosave?

Yes it does, but no it doesn't.
It autosaves to be able to recover from crashes. But that autosaved version is dropped when you save or discard your score.

Thanks jeetee that was the issue I confronted. I thought by hitting the save button it was saving to the mscz file but I guess it was saving to the mid only and therefore I lost the text and other edits. Then I would open from the mid file and that was the problem! Thanks again

If you use the normal save button, then MuseScore will always save to its native format. You just have to make sure to open that mscz file again for continuing your work.
There is no association with any other file once imported into MuseScore.
