Change 1 staff to 2 or more staves
Classical composers sometimes split a group of instruments from 1 staff to 2 staves or more, This is hard to do if you want your scores to be neat, you will have to change instruments and change it back. I hope there is a button or buttons to change 1 staff to 2 or more, and another button that puts the staves of the same instrument together into one staff. I really hope this was in a update, it would increase the efficiency and you do not need to keep changing instruments again and again to keep the score tidy.

I do not know if I should post this on separate forum, but I want mutes in musescore. Like there is a text called con sordini/sourdines(fr) and it will soften the sound in between the current dynamic and the next lower dynamic (e.g. The current dynamic is mezzo forte, so the mute will make the sound between mezzo forte and mezzo piano)
Thanks!
I hope this is not too much for musescore features. :/

Dynamics? Velocity setting or Play property of the notes you want muted?
Add both instruments, enter the notes and then use "Hide empty staves"

Why? You can hide it in the first system too, via a seperate setting, directly next to the other,

Also, try setting the "Hie wehn empty" property for staff itself to "Always", in Staff/Part Properties. This way you can't have to hide other empty staves if you don't want.
