Separating Verses from Refrains
Can someone please show me how to separate a lead sheet so the refrain and the verses are not connected.

Huh? Maybe using a system break (a line feed in text editors) from the breaks and spacver palette?

I'm having the same issue, in the handbook, it looks like it might be done with horizontal frames, but I'm not sure.
It can be done, I'd like some of my works to look like this one:
The Lord Has Revealed to the Nations (Psalm 98)

but I haven't figured out how to do it, yet.

From your picture, it isn't totally clear which aspect you are wondering about. Perhaps it is the use of "Style / General / Hide empty staves" to switch between 2 and 1 staves? But there are definitely no frames I can see there.
In reply to From your picture, it isn't by Marc Sabatella
I'm not really sure, maybe the author of the work I linked to used "hide empty staves."
If this works I'll use it.
I can't speak for the original poster in this thread, that is, what he was looking for.
I try to keep cantor scores to two pages max, this technique wouldn't have worked for my first score I posted here - both pages were full as it was -, so it didn't matter.
Next week's Psalm is short.
My previous music is in Forte, which also has to be tricked into doing this. But I'm really starting to like MuseScore.
What I want is: First staff group - refrain - (Cantor and Organ), which will include three clefs,
and all following - verse - Cantor (one treble clef with lyric) only.
See attached.

The score you linked definitely used "Hide empty staves" - that's how you get the effect you see, where the first system has two staves but subsequent systems have only one.

Thanks, Marc, that does the trick nicely.
Attached is what these responsorial Psalms usually look like in an annual Mass music book, if you're interested.
...And really not many people want them to look like this. The cantor can loose his place easily.
I'm not sure MuseScore can generate something like this, even if it could I wouldn't want to create it.
The attached Psalm (Psalm 46) won't be used again until November 9 falls on a Sunday, and by then ICEL will have a new translation.

I believe this is the same thing I'm having issues with, I need it to go from Refrain, Verse 1, Refrain, Verse 2, Refrain, Verse 3, and so on then end with the refrain.

Could be related, but in order for us to understand and assist, we'd need you to attach your score and explain what specific aspect of this you are having difficulty with.
Connected in what way? Are you talking about a simple line break? Click the barline, hit Enter (or sue the palette as suggested above).
If that doesn't answer your question, perhaps you could upload a picture to demonstrate what you are trying to do.
