Basic page format gone crazy!
I love Musescore, and use it all the time. Yesterday, I opened up a song file, to discover a radically different display, complete with 1/1024 notes along the top note display! I can't get the palettes to display on the left side like they always have, thus making the program very unusable. I've re-downloaded the app, turned my computer (Mac) off and an, and still, it's not back to "normal". Help!

It sounds like you're used to Basic workspace. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/workspaces for info on changing back.

This sort of solved the 1/1024 note issue, but I still can't get the pallettes to show up like they always have. The strange thing is, I've never adjusted or touched anything, and then a few days ago, the whole thing had changed.

To open the palettes press F9. It should remember the layout from one session to the next unless you are using an older version (current is 3.5.2). If you can explain what's different, then perhaps someone can help you more.

I've tried that. The pallets come up in a strange form, that I've never seen before, and it covers up half of my score page. Plus, it is only there for one change to my score, then it disappears again, and I have to open pallets up again from the menu.

Double click the title bar on the palettes window. It has become undocked. It's not closing each time you click on the main window, it's getting covered up, which makes it equally useless.

I'm not sure what you could do by accident to cause what you describe. Someone else might have an idea.

Mike 320 has helped me figure out how to get back to my original display. I'm just not sure how it happened in the first place! I never changed anything from one use to another. Anyone got any ideas how it could have happened?

Just clicking on the header of the Palettes panel and moving the mouse slightly while the mouse button is down will cause an undock - and it's easy to do it by mistake. As mentioned above, double-clicking on the Palettes header will re-dock the panel.
As regards switching between the Basic and Advanced workspaces, the Handbook explains in some detail:

I was trying to think of one thing that would do both, but revert to factory settings wouldn't explain this.
