Disabling "enable indentation on first system" via default style not working
I want the to turn off the default for "enable indent the first system." I saved a style with the option turned off and confirmed it was saved correctly in the text file. I set the default style in preferences to use that file. However, whenever I create a new score from a template, the "enable indentation on first system" is still always checked.
I also want to suggest adding save/load style to the style settings pane, instead of hiding them in the format menu.

Load that style after score creation.
I don't think it can work differently, when creating a score from a template the template's style take precedent

I just tried it, and loading the style afterwards works. Logically, it makes sense that if you use a template, that template's style takes precedence over a default style. It would be convenient if there was a way to set global style settings for things like this, or at least edit the default templates.
I have the same problem - I'm typing up a tenor transposition for some Dvorak (as I cannot get my head round playing treble clef down an octave on a cello!) so I don't want a first line indent as I'll be adding single lines of transcription to the middle of the piece. It worked in 3.6, but doesn't seem to in 4. A little frustrating, although I'll find a work round.

Works for me, even loading a style file from Mu3 that has that setting works in Mu4 (after a warning).

I'm too ignorant! Where do I put that information?
Also see attached - indentation set to zero, and yet it's still there!
Currently using a Windows 10 laptop, but also using Manjaro Linux - will check this out on both, eventually.

Into a file with a .mms extension and that into your styles folder

Have managed to create the file, and get MS4 to recognize it, but I've still got an indentation. Will try restarting MS4 and a few other fiddles!
Thank you for your help.

And loaded it into a score? Format > Load style

Indeed, I did load it, but to no effect. Some of my other, older styles worked (& without a warning that it might fail, once I changed the version to MS4, in the 1st two lines). I did find it better to use an existing style file and change that, rather than try to save a new text file as *.mms.
I'll keep trying!

Never doubted it! I'll try your version of the style sheet. Fingers crossed I'll suss it out eventually.

It didn't work straight away. But I then looked at the instrument names in stave/part properties, and removed any names in either of my two parts. And when I closed that field, the indentation had gone. Not entirely sure exactly which action had the effect - but the effect did happen!

Ah, yes, instrument names in hidden staves can indeed cause this
