Remove indent
I can't remove the indent at the beginning of my piece. I've unchecked the box as I would on 3.6 Musescore, but here nothing happens. I've tried resetting the indent to 0 in the value box but that didn't work either. I have just updated from 3.6 and am beginning to wish I hadn't. My template is for solo voice and I am trying to create an exercise sheet so the indent is just a nuisance.

Which box have you unchecked. It should be the one labelled Enable indentation on first system found in Format>Style>Score. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/score-size-and-spacing and scroll down somewhat.
Be sure to click the Apply or OK button before closing the style dialogue.
If that doesn't help, come back and attach your score (.mscz file) so that someone can check the settings in use.

Thanks for your reply. The problem was that no check box for OK or APPLY was visible on the page. ENTER had no effect either so I've had to resort to uninstalling Musescore 4 and going back to 3, which works fine.

The Return or Enter key should have done the trick. Or reducing the scaling of your graphics driver

Thank you for reply. Neither the Return or Enter key had any effect.

Ah, I see. That's a bug actually, and a regression vs. Mu3

You can resize that dialog though and then move it up so you can see and reach the buttons at its bottom
I'm having the opposite problem of what most of the posters have. I used "the checkbox" to un-indent the first system just fine. It's ALL THE OTHER systems that I can't figure out how to unindent. My margins are wide and I don't see any horizontal frames, nor do I see any relevant settings, so I'm a bit stumped.
I'm sure you experts know what I'm missing, though! :-)

Usually not a good idea to add a new, different problem at the end of an old thread. The people who looked at it before *know* that it's resolved, and thus, are unlikely to come back in and look at it again. I recommend starting a new thread. Be sure to include the score, as you did here.
(I looked at it, but didn't see anything unusual. Hopefully someone else can find whatever I'm missing :-)

“ Usually not a good idea to add a new, different problem at the end of an old thread.”
This is an extremely fresh thread (I’ve benefited from one’s 10 years old), and my problem is also about “removing an indent”.
I find it much less productive to have 50 separate threads discussing the same or very similar issues that I then have to sift through for answers. Plus, there’s a good chance that such threads already have the attention of the people interested in and knowledgeable about the topic, rather than starting from ground zero. I find it sloppy to clutter the forums with nearly duplicate threads.
Anyway, thanks for looking it over.

It is due to hidden instruments's long/short names. And is a bug
Best report on GitHub https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose and make sure to mention it to be a regression vs. Mu3

Ah, should have thought of that, even if it's a bug. Thanks very much.

I just noticed that it's not hidden because I clicked the "eye"; if I do that, the indent problem goes away. It's hidden because of "Hide Empty Staves Within Systems". Maybe you knew that, but I'll note that in the bug report.

I knew and meant that, but should heve mentioned it explicitly, sorry.
That's for logging the issue
