How do you make it so that the score is a 2 hand song on piano?

A common mistake is to always start with the default score, which is really just there to play around with when you are learning or testing things. To create your own scores you should normally be using File / New as shown in the links above, and then you will see options to create all sorts of scores.

Actually, I don't see why we cannot reconsider the startup score. Most users use MuseScore to do actual work, not play randomly. If a score contains only one staff of piano, it's almost impossible to start with it without adding new staves/instruments (which I believe is quite confusing for new users).

Well, at least make the startup piano score 2 staves. One-staff piano score almost isn't used anywhere, except for special occasions such as left-hand piano concerto.
Or change the instrument to violin, or flute, or guitar, whatever. Making it a guitar staff can also indicate Ultimate Guitar. :-)

That'd be the wrong thing to start with for the other 50% of the time, probably even more
A 1-staff line is just the right thing for testing out a simple melody, and Piano for the sound is pretty reasonable too

But the point is, while the score is named as "My First Score", making it to be actually a first score requires rather advanced work compared to note input.

I was thinking that showing the ”create new score” on startup might make more sense. Or have a selection of demo scores (piano, ensemble) that load on first startup. Or present options in the startup wizard

IIRC that happens already, Start Center brings that up (first thing I disable though)

I would say present three options in the "startup wizard": "Continue with default score" (which then leads to the 1-staff piano score), "Create new score", and "Open score". Similar to Visual Studio which pops up a big window with choices like "Create new project", "Open project", "Clone project", and eventually "Continue without code".
Have a selection of demo scores? You mean present more than one score on startup? If so then this could be annoying.

"Create new Score" is the only option in the left hand side of the startcenter on first start and the most prominent on any subsquent one (then accompained by "Open score x, y, z..."),

It’s the only option, true, but you can see there is already a score open, so I bet most people just close the start center.
A good question for the telemetry module!
In any case, seems apparent many people never realize MuseScore can do anything more than give you 32 bars of a single staff.

By selection of demo scores, I don’t mean mean the user chooses - I meant we open several scores by default, in separate tabs of course. Then you could see right away by changing tabs some of what is possible. One could be akin to the “Getting Started” score that contains some actual instructions, other could be real excerpts.

I suggested both of those things; they aren’t mutually exclusive.
