How can I automatically change all the remaining parts into full 4/4 measures when I split the first measure?
I'd like to split the first 4/4 measure into 1/4 measure plus 4/4 measures for all the remaining notes. I've followed the instruction of Handbook but have no idea how to change all the remaining notes into 4/4 measures. Please do help me how. I'd appreciate it.

Add a new measure at the start, then right click it, go to Measure properties and in Measure duration change the actual to 1/4. Apply changes and the measure will turn into a 1/4 measure, but the other ones will stay 4/4 and you can put the note into the first measure. Hope this helps

Thank you for your advice. I am working with a MuseScore file that I created a couple of years ago. When I split the first 4/4 measure, moving the first note to the first measure, it becomes a 1/4 measure, while the second measure turns into a 3/4 measure. The remaining measures stay as 4/4. I want to automatically change all the measures starting from the second one to 4/4 until the end of the score after I have moved the first note to the first measure comprised of the first note only.

I suspect your not describing exactly what you want to do clearly enough.
Are you saying you notated a piece putting the anacrusis on beat one rather than the last beat of a pick up bar and to correct it you now want to move every note of the entire piece back one beat?

Insert a measure, modified it to be a 1/4 ana crusis. Select the entire score except there new first measure, cut, select the 1st measure, paste.
Now optionally make the last measure one beat shorter

I don't get what you say. Could you please make the attached file as you say so that I may understand it fully. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Take a look at the video I have zipped and attached.
.
In it, I begin with a string of music something like what I suspect you have. It has an anacrusis ("pickup notes") that I put on beat 1, rather than in a partial measure before the B that should be the actual beat 1. I click the note that should be on beat 1 (the B) to select it, then I Shift+click the last note of the piece, which selects everything from the current selection to the place where I Shift+clicked. I pressed Ctrl+X to Cut the selection. Then, I pasted it into the next measure, then letting it begin on beat 1. Finally, I changed the Measure properties of the first measure to have an Actual duration of 1/4, the length of the anacrusis.

Maybe this is what you want?
Note: I have removed the start repeat barline. This has no effect because there is no end repeat barline. And I have moved the notes forward by a quarter twice, once at measure 1 and once at (new) measure 41.
