Docking the Master palette
Can you guys add a feature so that you can dock the master palette along with the mixer and inspector? It's pretty annoying when you wanna restore down Musescore, because managing the master palette which is blocking the screen is pretty tough. Thanks a lot :)

The master palette is obsolete, it no longer has any particular purpose and I had heard at one point was likely to be removed in a future release. Is there a reason you are trying to use that rather than the standard palette?
Note the special functions of the key and time signature editors are of course still important, but they are only a keystroke away, as is the Symbols palette.

The Symbols palette is not reachable without the master palette.

Righty, but as I said, just a keystroke away, no need to dock just for that. I would assume if the master palette is remove, the Symbols palette would remain as a separate entity - which it perhaps should have been all along.

Using the standard palette is pretty time consuming for me, because scrolling up and down all of the open features is pretty hard to manage. This is why I'm using the master palette.

Doesn't the master palette have more options to scroll between?

That’s what the “single palette” option in the palette windo menu is for. No need to resort to the master palette for this.

Also see the ability to easily customize your palettes, putting your most-used elements together. Tons more flexibility here, ability to dock is just another perk.

Make a custom palette, put it at the top of your palette list, drag the symbols you use from the master palette to the new custom palette so you have constant easy access to them. So much easier.
Thanks for scolding on how everyone should work just like you. Now can we actually answer the question about docking palettes?

This question was not about docking the regular palettes at all but if that would be made possible for the master palette dialog; a dialog for which the use is intended to be sporadic and to build your custom regular palettes. As such, there is currently no plan to make this a dockable window. Pointing out intended usage of a feature is not quite the same as scolding to me.
The regular palette window of course is still dockable.

Not sure what you mean by scolding. Are you referring to the perfectly legitimate question I asked to try to understand why someone else (not you) was trying to access the master palette in the first place? The person to whom I was responding mentioned they were using it "when you wanna restore down Musescore", which I understood to mean, to add back palette items they had previously deleted. It seemed perhaps the user to whom I was responding simply didn't realize you don't need the master palette for that - everything you require is under the "More" button within the main palette.
So anyhow, as mentioned, right now there is no plan to continue development of the master palette. If there is a particular problem you are trying to solve, I'm happy to help you solve that problem as well.

Sorry if I misread the tone of the answers. I didn't see where anyone said the Master Palette is not dockable.
When I reread it with that in mind, the responses seem more helpful sooooo.....
