Pauses
Can anybody tell me how to make pauses work in playback? They appear on the score but the music doesn't hesitate. Similarly the playback doesn't do the imperceptible break that you need at the end of a line in eg a hymn tune. Is there any way of controlling thes micro variations of tempo?

Do you mean a fermata? If so, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tempo-0#fermata.
Assuming you mean fermatas, to make them affect playback you can use the Inspector to set the time stretch factor. No automatic way to add slight breaks at ends of hymns. You could add a fermata to the last note, then hide it if you don't want it to show. You could also right click the measure and use the piano roll editor to shorten that last note, which would have the effect of adding a pause.
In general, though, MuseScore is designed primarily for notation. Fine tuning playback is often better performed in a program that is designed primarily for that purpose (eg, a seqwuencer or DAW software).
In case you mean caesuras (or railroad tracks): these do playback, they result in a 2 seconds pause.
Same for section break.

Thanks.
I guess I won't be needing the bagpipes section, but is it possible to add some of the master palette options into the palette section (drag and drop or something)?

How does that relate to the Breaths and Caesuras palette? Anyway yes you can create custom palettes and workspaces

No problem Jojo, I just upgraded onto a new computer and hadn't seen the advanced options on the palette had changed places. I can now see the whole thing, Breaths and Caesuras included.
