Adding stave at front
I have some music and I want to add more before the current set of staves. How do I add several separate staves before it all. I have added one stave with 4 empty measures (forgot how I did this!) but only seem to be able to add measures to the empty one. Thanks.

If you want a new staff, you'd need to add it via the add instruments dialog, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/create-new-score-0#create-new-score-a….
If you want more measures at the beginning, select the first measure and press Ins (for one measure) or Ctrl+Ins (for a dialog asking how many measures to add), see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/measure-operations-0#insert.
Thanks, I shall have to read the handbook again. I see that the second response is what I needed but I was trying to create a 4 measure bar(?) at the front as I am copying a paper score.
is there a way of scanning a score into MuseScore and then edit the score that way?

You can scan to a PDF using your favorite scnner software, then try to import that via the "File / Import PDF" facility provided by musescore.com using Audiveris, but realize this sort of technology is quite experimental and chances are it either won't work at all, or you'll spend as long cleaning up the results as entering the music by hand.
