Getting Started
This is probably a dumb question, but I downloaded MuseScore and don't even know how to open it to start writing a part for a flute. I have the piano accompaniment which shows what the flute will play, but I need to write out the flute solo part by itself.

Thank you jm6 stringer for the link. I don't know how to get to the home page that shows the options listed to choose the score tab. When I go to musescore.org, it just shows an option to download and ads for different add-ons.

First download it: https://musescore.org/en/download
Then install it on your computer.
Then start it.
Then open Jm6stringer's link and follow the descripion.
BTW, if you ask for Android or Apple iPad devices: There is no support.

In your first post, you say you have "downloaded MuseScore". Do I understand correctly that you have downloaded the MuseScore Studio program to your computer and installed it there?
The link that Jm6stringer provided describes how to use that program. For instance how to create a flute part, or how to add a flute to a score for piano.

It said it was installing, and that it would launch MuseHub when it was ready. Once it launched MuseHub, it didn't show the screen that was shown in the link jm6stringer sent. How do I get to that screen?

Launch MuseScore rather than MuseHub.

MuseScore is the notation application.
MuseHub is an auxiliary application. With it, you can download/install updates to MuseScore. And you can obtain MuseSounds: higher quality sounds for the instruments that MuseScore plays when it plays your score.
Its use for upgrading MuseScore is ... questionable, at best. Most of us run MuseHub to get new sounds and then exit it completely and never run it again unless we need to get more new sounds ... from MuseHub. (Sounds from elsewhere do not require it ... I think?)
