''Delete a Part'' does not work in v. 3.3.038737 as described in MuseScore-en - 2019 11 03 (my dating)
I tried to delete the Piano part in an SATB + Piano score which should only be SATB (A Capella).

I copy and reset choir sheet music to make it easier for me to read for me as a non-musician - basically to make music easier for the chorister rather than the printer ;o)

Thanks Soichi,

nice shortcut, worked instantly.

Sombody needs to update the handbook as its procedure to remove part(s) does not work.

Thanks again

You don't want to delete a part, but an instrument, so the handbook about deleting a part is correct, for its purpose, but not the procedure you need, that is in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/create-new-score#change-Instrument-…

But here's an alternative approach, this time really using parts ;-), and the one I often take.

The problem is terminology. In your score you have 5 instruments (S, A, T, B and piano) and no parts. What you want to delete is an instrument. If you use the menu File->Parts, you can create parts and this will create a tab for each part you create. You can use the same menu option to add and delete parts that have been created.
