Separation between left and right hand in a piano score
Good morning,
I'm learning the piano and I like being able to work with one hand by lowering the corresponding sound while having the sound in the other hand. Using a classical piano score this is not possible since there is only one channel (this may not be the appropriate term...) Until now on MuseScore 3 I took a staff in treble clef from the chorus (e.g. soprano) and a second in bass clef (e.g. bass). Then to get the sound of the piano I chose “Grand piano” in the mixer. I then modified the names of each staff in staff properties (Right Hand Left Hand) and it was very practical. This made it possible to turn the sound up or down when I used my tablet on the piano. I can't do the same thing on museScore 4. Once you choose an instrument type, you can't choose the sound. Can you tell me if I missed something or if it is indeed impossible and if it is definitive in which case I will continue to use MuseScore 3 (but for how long?). Thank you for your reply.

Use 2 pianos, the left hand of one, the right hand of the other

What a good idea! I hadn't thought of that before and it works! I was afraid of having empty staves which would clutter the score but we can hide them. So that's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much.

You can even delete them
And join the barlines and add the brace, so that it looks like a single piano

I know how to hide unnecessary staves but I don't know how to delete them completely.

In the same dialog where you add them

I've found! I hadn't seen that it was possible to add or remove a stave. Now it's perfect and I thank you very much
Some of the "piano" presets automatically include two staves and a brace, which is typical for piano notation.
