There should be Treble and Bass Dynamics
When I am writing music, I need the Bass dynamic to be pp and the Treble dynamic mp. I can't do that with Musescore. I click the Bass note and insert pp directly on the Bass staff, yet instead of just changing the Bass staff, it changes both the Bass and the Treble to pp. That is not musically accurate! If you have over 13M users plus professionals, you have to have every detail accurate. You also say you are a Professional music writing software. Well someone who writes advanced and complex music needs those small details.
A quick rough sketch below:

This is possible. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/dynamics#assigning-voices
Always a good idea to read the handbook or at least ask politely for help before slagging off the software.

Or at least get someone who can draw to help out. Is that Fb in both clefs. Or a Gb in the treble clef. Truly complex.

I would really like to see you draw with a mouse that won't work properly when you're in a rush. This Forum is to help people not to (Non constructive) criticize them. Some people might consider your comment offensive. Luckily it was directed at someone who does not get offended easily. Now please, either help out or let an expert answer my request.

Thank you.

Sorry you took my comment the wrong way. It was, possibly, out of place. What you wanted was clear from the title of your thread. So a drawing was not needed. Nor were the comments about MuseScore. I agree that there are things that need attention. The software is not perfect. There are much faster ways to get an image. You could take a screenshot of the area of a score in question and post that. I can't even draw stick people by hand. Not to mention with a mouse. Which is the only reason I said anything.

Thank you, it's no problem. I couldn't take a screenshot because I use a Chromebook and only borrow a Windows for composition. It was occupied at that time. I'm not an expert on Musescore so I did not know there was an option in the Properties panel.
Thank you though.

How do those critical statements of yours add any relevance to the problem you thought existed, but actually doesn't?
BTW: Did you ever get your volta lines to work?

They add quite a bit of relevance. I am a composer known in Canada, USA, and Italy, and need my scores' audio to be as accurate as possible. My compositions are being performed by a great Italian pianist who has played at Carnegie Hall in New York and to the President of Italy and several more places around the world, he is very virtuoso in piano. What I'm saying is for people who need to compose quality content to get better likes and views, the platform they use must be at least 97% flawless.
And no, I was never able to get my Volta lines to work. Instead, I came up with a solution to hold down shift and select measures. I still look forward for Musescore to make the Volta lines dragable like pedal lines as it is more efficient.

The problem is that notation software is not intended to produce great audio. For that, you need a DAW.
And Ending lines are indeed draggable.

What?? ...quite a bit of relevance??
You thought your problem (as expressed in the title) was:
There should be Treble and Bass Dynamics
... and so, you opened a new feature request
Then you stated:
When I am writing music I need the Bass dynamic to be pp and the Treble dynamic mp. I can't do that with Musescore.
My point about relevance is that, for example, the word "clef" might be relevant, so you could have written: "Bass clef dynamic to be pp and the Treble clef dynamic mp".
Also, mentioning "grand staff" (e.g., for piano) would have been even more helpful and relevant
All this other stuff you wrote:
If you have over 13M users plus professionals, you have to have every detail accurate. You also say you are a Professional music writing software. Well someone who writes advanced and complex music needs those small details.
...is completely useless and irrelevant, especially in light of the fact that what you have requested is a feature that already exists -- of which you were ignorant. It's okay, though, as that is why this forum and its volunteers are here -- to enlighten you.
P.S.: If you still struggle with voltas, you are welcome to continue any relevant conversations in that thread.

Look, this is getting way out of hand and it seems like Musescore doesn't have any comment moderation. I came here for some advice Not to be ridiculed. Why do they have "Help Forum" to the title of Musescore.org?? The Volta Lines are not draggable, I thought if I was smart enough to write music, I'd be smart enough to know how to drag a mouse. If there's any more ridiculing and no support, I may just contact Musescore personally.

But the lines ARE draggable. How are you doing it?
In reply to But the lines ARE draggable… by bobjp
Voltas can be dragged but that does not change their effective range, only their visual range. Voltas are different to most other lines as they only make sense when applied to full measures.
There is an existing feature request to allow the range to he adjusted by dragging. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/10695. This is on the list of backlog items to be addressed "sometime".
In the meantime, either a) select the range you want included in the volta before applying it, or b) select the volta handle and use SHIFT+Right (or Left) Arrow to adjust the range once the volta has been added. I see that the Shift + arrow method is not actually covered in the handbook. Something to be updated when the new handbook processes get sorted.
It is better to start a new thread for discussion of a new topic. Voltas aren't much related to "treble and bass dynamics".

It would be better to make that operation more obvious by mentioning it on the volta page itself, together with an explanation that drag doesn't work on voltas.
But, as I understand it, the handbook is "frozen" until its transfer to github is underway. So, not worth worrying about yet.

I do it by holding left click on my mouse on the tip of the Volta line where it displays a black circle indicating the draggability, then I simply (Still holding left click) Drag my mouse with the Volta line in my hand.

That only moves the right edge of the volta visually but does not select the measures underneath it. To select all the measures, click on the Volta and press [Shift][RightArrow].
