Reversion: Only one palette open at a time?
Didn't check the issue tracker about this, but it seems that the Workspace only allows for one palette to be open at a time, as opposed to how it used to be in version 2. Is this by design? Seems like a set-back rather than a benefit. Ciao.

Right click the palette bar
For the record, the default for that option is off, in both MuseScore 2 & MuseScore 3, so you should normally be able to open multiple palettes. Perhaps you accidentally enabled it, or installed a workspace that did so.
FWIW, I much prefer working with single palette enabled to me having multiple palettes open at once just makes it harder to use. I'd suggest sticking with it a minute and giving it a chance before going back to the default .

Will take that into consideration. Thanks for both the replies.

Me too. I'd rather have it being the default setting

I must dissent. I open a palette and keep it open and scroll through the open palettes. It's easier to find palettes that way, especially since they were reordered in version 3 and I still forget where they are now. I do close palettes I rarely use when I'm done with them.

I was just registering my vote. I usually keep my MuseScore window reduced to half the height of my screen and use my mouse's scroll wheel to scroll among palettes. Especially in version 3, I don't see more than one palette.

I usually keep my MuseScore window reduced to half the height of my screen...
That's interesting...
What is your screen aspect ratio: "square-ish" like the old 4:3; or "new-ish" like 16:9?
If "new-ish" do you have your screen oriented as portrait display?
What do you display on the other half?

(I assume you're displaying a PDF or some such in the other half to transcribe?)
Makes sense, if you're constraining the window height that much you'll need to scroll just to see the title bars of the others most likely. So if you're going to scroll, might as well only scroll, not also need to click to open a palette. I usually work full screen, so I can open a palette still see all the other title bars, meaning I essentially never need to scroll the palettes window.

Marc is correct on all counts. I transcribe more than I write original music, so I usually keep a PDF open.

I only have one screen but I'd probably keep it set up the way it is. I can essentially change my focus to change between what I'm typing and what I'm reading.

Years ago there was talk of a MuseScore pdf transciber "helper".
It was not a full-fledged OMR, but instead performed a rudimentary staff and measure recognition for "location awareness" in the pdf score.
The result was that a transcriber could easily compare a place in his active transcription to its counterpart in the pdf document -- all working within MuseScore.
I wonder if it ever got past experimental?

It did not. The code is still there and can, in theory, be compiled by adding "-DOMR" to the build flags, but I doubt very much it would succeed or work at this point even as well as it did when it was disabled a while back. Not to say this could never be revisited.

To me it's about reducing visual clutter and also avoid the need to scroll. But I'm glad both options exist.

My screen simply isn't high enough to allow for several palettes being open and accessible at the same time
