Mute of one of the voices in Musescore 4
In Musescore 4 there's no more a possibility in mixer to mute any of 4 available note marked as particular voice.
Also there are only 2 voices available on the menu.
How can I use voices in Musescore 4?

thank you Claudio, yes, in the setting I se you can enable also the rest of available voices. When you don't want a particular voice to be heard you don't have a mute button in the mixer as before but you can use the workaround. You select all notes with the same voice and mute them in properties

I tried muting the bass voice (blue), eyelids open or closed does not matter, didn't mute. I then muted all 4 voices, didn't work, all voices played. What am I doing wrong?

Well, there was a hidden Piano, and it played too of course! You got this score from musescore.com, you couldn't have guessed it :)
Remove it (in "Instruments", shortcut "I") and you're done.
EDIT: I improved the score: Voices were in inconsistent order, layout, shared noteheads etc.
(for the record I'm a classical guitarist, so, I had to!)

NB: I opened and saved your score with version 3.6.2

Thanks for the improved score. I did delete the hidden piano and was able to delete the bass voice notes so they do not play. I am still not sure how to mute voices. Why does a muted voice (eyelids down) still play?

You're using Version 4. There was a great feature in version 3, where you could mute voices 1, 2, 3 and 4 with a single click in the Mixer, as you wished.
In V4, the eye icons don't relate to this ability to mute voices.
What you can do: right-click on a bass voice note / Select / More / Tick "Same voice". Then in the Properties panel, uncheck "Play".
It works, it just takes a lot longer :(
Launch the playback of the modified score: 4Violin_sonata_no_2_bwv_1003_allegro__Johann_Sebastian_Bach.mscz
(click on one or more bass voice notes, and in the Properties, you'll see that "Play" will be unchecked)
