grand staff not wanted
When I create a new score with multiple instruments I rarely want a grand staff. I prefer just a straight line connecting the staffs as shown in the file "without grand staff". Sorry, I tied to put the graphics inline but was not successful. Recently, when I create a new score I get a grand staff as shown in the file "with_grand _staff". I'm clueless as to what has changed. I've searched the forums and tried most every option relating to staffs, systems etc. to no avail. How do I set up a score without the grand staff?

I think when you mention "grand staff" you really mean the "bracket" - "grand staff" actually means something different (specifically, a two-staff systems used for piano). The bracket is standard notation when grouping related instruments in larger ensembles, but might not be needed if the score is just for these instruments. So, just select it and press Delete.
That is not a grand staff. A grand staff is how piano music is normally notated with two staves, one per hand, connected with a brace - the curly thing that you don't want. If you have a set of instrument staves that you want but they are connected with a brace, just click on the brace and press delete. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/brackets

I am humbled. I suspect I tried everything but single clicking on it. Thank you for your help.
