Make permanent changes to Time Signature properties regarding beaming
There are defaults within MuseScore 4 regarding beaming for each time signature. And they can be customised on a case-by-case basis through https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/time-signatures#time-sig-properties
In 'cut time'/alla breve, I make my beams last just 1 crotchet rather than the default 2. So I need to reset this in Tim Sig Properties every time I change to alla breve.
I would like to be able to make my customised beaming choices the new default. I don't believe these are captured in the Save/Load Style feature, but that would also be a logical way of doing it.
Thanks
Edward

Many thanks for the tip. I can't ctrl-drag to a palette tho (using Windows). It just drags the time signature across the score, rather than onto my Time Signatures palette. What am I doing wrong...?

That should be CTRL+SHIFT+Drag. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/palettes#add-score-elements

... and don't forget that you will now have two visually identical cut time elements in your Time Signatures palette. The default element has a flyover hint of Cut time (2/2), so your new element needs a different flyover hint - perhaps Cut time (4/4) ? You can edit the flyover hint by right-click on the element in the palette, then choose Properties... and edit the Name property.
Don't ask me why the Name property isn't called Hint or Flyover hint...

Create custom time signature is an option.
