This is pretty much already possible, just create a new workspace, check all the boxes, then start closing windows and hiding toolbars until it's the way you want it.

This does help but the "File, Edit, View ..." remains; as do the sheet tabs. It would be nice to have a full immersive mode which can be toggled on/off with a single shortcut, rather than changing several viewing option on/off.

In absence of such a mode, you can use the workspace attached and the fullscreen shortcut.
The workspace is based off of the basic one, and does remove the menu bar. It keeps a single toolbar with basic playback functionality and the dropdown to be able to switch back to another workspace to be able to get out of it.
Rename it to remove the .zip extension, then place it in your appropriate workspaces folder. (for me on Windows that is "%LOCALAPPDATA%\MuseScore\MuseScore3\workspaces")

Thanks for this. I'm having a bit of trouble with it. I have found the Musescore3 workspaces folder, (it was hidden to start with), and I have moved the downloaded file to that folder and removed the .zip extension. The MS menu View > Workspaces does not offer this new one; I only have the choices of "Basic Edited" and "Advanced Edited". I have restarted MS but it's just the same.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Well it almost works nicely! It displays perfectly but when I click the play button Musescore crashes.

hmm.. and on top of it it fails to restart as well breaking the workspace file.
I'm guessing that starting playback tries to disable some buttons that are now no longer available and that seems to corrupt it.
So no simple solution to your question then, I'm afraid :(

Deleting the rogue workspace gets MS starting again.
I've settled on a workspace with the main menu and workspace field but nothing else. I hadn't appreciated how useful workspaces can be.

How do the .workspace files work in conjunction with the xml files in the workspaces\global folder?
