show an empty staff between systems
I have an assignment where I'm required to leave an empty staff between systems. That is, my composition would have a grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, etc. Each empty staff would be just a five line staff with no clef, no key sig, no time sig, no bar lines.
This is straightforward if I'm writing by hand on staff paper. Is there a way to do this in MuseScore?

Yes.
For two grand staves, separated by a single other blank staff: In the Instruments tab, add two pianos and any other single-stave instrument. Next to the Add button are Up and Down arrow buttons to re-order the staves if necessary. Then add notes to the two grand staves and do not add notes to the other instrument. Select clef, key signature, etc. and set them to be not visible. For the barlines, select one, right-click, and choose to select all similar in the same staff, and then make them not visible.

Just one grand staff, so add one piano.

OP explicitly said that they want to alternate grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, etc. I described one set of these and they can make as many more of them as they need by repeating my instructions.

If you repeat "grand staff, empty staff, grand staff" you get:
grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, grand staff, empty staff, grand staff; etc.
If you repeat "grand staff, empty staff" you get:
grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, empty staff, grand staff, empty staff, etc

The OP mentions nothing about a grand staff followed by another grand staff.

Okay...
The empty staff looks like staff paper. See attachment.
In Staff/Part properties, use Advanced style properties to get rid of clef, time signature, barlines, key signature.
Look at the picture here:

Also, to see any invisible elements open the "eyeball" icon in the Properties panel.

This is perfect. And I learned about advanced style of staff properties. Thanks!
