Lead sheet settings
About 50% of what I do with Musescore is lead sheet production so I'd like a setup ready to go for lead sheet. Keyboard with 2 voices and treble clef and that's it. "Might as Well be Spring" is an example. I want to eliminate the bass clef on this score. I try copying the treble clef, opening a new project with just treble clef but when I paste in it opens the bass clef again.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Assuming you're using Musescore 4:
- select a bar in the bass clef staff
- right click on the selected bar
- click on "Staff/Part properties..."
- choose "Always" in the "Hide when empty" option
- click on "OK"

Oops! That should be "Always", not "Never"! :)

Yeah, that works but I discovered if I copy the treble clef then set up a new project as a trumpet solo and paste into that it works just dandy except it's in the wrong key but that's easily fixed.
I also discovered that the copy function only copies notes. It leaves out titles, repeats and everything else but notes. That is REALLY bad. Usually there is a menu where you can select what you want to copy.
Also discovered the print function has no print preview. That's also pretty bad.

BTW, can we assume that you know there is a "Jazz Lead Sheet" template in Musescore 3 and Musescore 4? It has just a treble clef staff, with no bass clef staff.

When you say "Jazz Lead Sheet", do you mean a Realbook style lead sheet? If so, where do I find this in MS 4?
I don't have anything like that under the default templates that I currently have.
