inputting notes on separate staffs
Musescore is automatically copying notes I am inputting in my first staff into my second linked staff - I am actually writing two parts. How do I get musescore to stop inputting on both staffs?

Add a completely separate instrument to your score: View > Instruments > Add

Thanks Daniel, I'll try that - I actually want 2 sop recorders, (playing different lines), but I guess I'll have to try a work-around.

I don't see instruments in my View menu. :(

Yup it's in Edit for Mu2 and Mu3
But for Mu4 is in View (and in Add for Mu1)
Welcome aboard, and to be clear...

Okay, so adding another recorder on a separate (non-linked) staff is not a "work-around".
See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/create-new-score#add-staff
especially this part:
"Important: Add a new instrument instead if the new staff you wish to add belongs to a separate instrument."
While it's true that, say in a recorder quartet, the staff for each recorder may be combined into "systems" of 4 staves - i.e., because all 4 play concomitantly - each recorder is a separate instrument.
This differs from a "linked" staff which primarily is used for linked standard/tablature notation where a note entered upon a standard notation staff is automatically transcribed to tablature and displayed on a TAB staff (or vice versa). Your notes were automatically copied because that's what "linked" staves are designed to do.
