In Normal mode, Alt + Down/Up permit to go from score to tablature and then go back to score.
When I enter notes, Alt + Down permit to go from score to tablature but then Alt + Up does not permit to go back to score.
I use Musecore v3.2.3 but I think it's still a bug because of the answer gave to me on https://musescore.org/en/node/308129
Comments
For some reason, this command is explicitly marked as only applying to pitched or drum staves, not tab. Most other similar commands are just marked as apply to note input mode generally. I'm thinking there must then have been some reason for this, like the intent was to use Alt+Up for something else in tab. But since it doesn't appear to actually be the case, I would be in favor of enabling it.
Meanwhile, there is a little-known workaround. The Alt+Up//Down commands don't just move from staff to staff, but also move between notes in a chord. There are separate commands that move directly between staves (or voices). There are no predefined shortcuts, but you can define them yourself, and they do work in tab. Look for "Previous staff or voice" and "Next staff or voice". I set those to "[" and "]".

Thank you very much for your help !
Thank you, those undefined shortcuts had completely escaped me. They work in input mode, it's a good surprise for me too.
But it would indeed be better to get this feature without using special shortcuts (because, alas, they are not unlimited, or let's say easy to configure and to type)
