Where are Forte, Piano, Pianissimo etc.?
I am using Musescore 3.6.2. From what I can see, it says I should look in Pallettes under Lines. All there appears to be is mf with a hairpin... and that's it. There is no p, no pp, no ppp, no Forte, no nothin'.
As these are pretty common dynamic commands, I can't imagine they would leave this out. Yes, I can print that in with System Text but it would be nice to have the F with the fancy glyph that we have all seen countless times in scores. I understand that these directions are not recognized in play back. That's fine ... I can imagine it. I just want the dynamics indicated on the music sheet. Any insight will be appreciated. Thank you.

Wherever did you see that? Look in the palettes under "Dynamics". https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/dynamics#adding-dynamics
Thank you to the person who got back to me. I don’t have “Dynamics” in my list of Pallettes. I have Clefs, Key Signatures, Time Signatures etc. (It would be helpful if all these were in alphabetical order) but, alas, no “Dynamics.”
I have tried clicking on the note and certainly no new category pops up called “Dynamics” on my left hand side Pallettes list. I wish it did.
May I ask, where you specifically are seeing your “Dynamic” category?
Assuming that all the Pallette lists are laid out the same way, which two pallets is “Dynamics” sandwiched between?
Is it possible that it got eliminated somehow? It would seem that would be impossible as I’m sure this is a firmware.

I guess the Dynamics palette got hidden somehow. To show it see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/palettes#show-hidden-palette

Success!... Thank you SteveBlower!
Another thing to try is to open the MASTER PALLETTE
(look under "View")
This gives you much the same as the ordinary Pallette
but it is often easier to find waht you want eg: "Dynamics"
