Adding Condensed piano to SATB chorale
I'm not sure if this is possible--I've tried several things in the program and searched the handbook to figure out how but haven't found a way.
I've got an SATB chorale and I'd like to condense it into a piano staff and add that to the score. Would be great if I could just select all four lines and right click and condense to piano.

No direct way to do that I know of, but you should be able to get this by copy & paste:
1) select all on alto staff, copy to top piano staff
2) exchange voices 1-2 on top piano staff
3) do step 1-2 for bass staff & bottom piano staff
4) now copy soprano staff to top piano staff, tenor to bottom piano staff
5) fix up anything that may have copied but you didn't want, or didn't copy but you did want (eg, text)

There's a set of plugins called Implode/Explode. 'Implode' condenses several staves of music into one. 'Explode' separates a stave of music into several. Check out this page for more details: http://musescore.org/en/project/plode
