I'd like to have the possibility of changing stave color, as I can with the notes.
And / or being able to make it invisible when there are only rests on it.

Colorng the staff lines is possible already, via staff properties, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-properties
Making staves invisible if they containt nothing but rests is possible too, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/layout-and-formatting#style-edit-gene…, "Hide empty staves"
Thanks for your answer, I learned new things about Musescore.
But my problem is'nt solved :
Hide empty staff -> does'nt work because the staff I want to "uncolor" is one line long, and has a "jump line" at the end. I use this it as a way to have space between some staves - and not others.
-> Coloring the staves is possible, but all staves of the score at the same time, and I wanted to change only one stave, exactly the same way I can make one key or some notes invisible.
So use a spacer instead of an invisible staff, that's what it is for, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/breaks-and-spacers
Coloring one stave is possible, but not just one system, at least not without jumping through some hoops: add another instrument, color it, have notes only in the part you want colored, hide empty staves.
It would be interesting to have the possibility to change the color of the stave for one or more given measure(s), and then have another color for another one.

And even changing the color of one line of the stave would be useful, for instance to create material adapted to dislexic people.

Yes, for that purpouse it would be precious. I often ask my pupils to color one or several lines in order to train the eye to spot it quickly and to read notes through intervalls.
an I have a "dys-" pupil in almost every class.
