Template
Not understanding why ie. the template for bass clef opens a template filled with whole rests. Where is a template for plain old staff paper with no rests, no measure bars? Just empty with or without cleff?

The purpose of a template is to give you a starting point for creating an actual score, and the way MuseScore (as well as almost all other notation programs) works, that means starting out with the basics already in place. That saves you the trouble of manually adding all that detail.
If you just want plain staff paper - not as the starting point for a score, but as the actual final product to print and then presumably write on by hand - simply create that yourself (or download a version someone else created) and save it as a regular score. You don't need a template; that in fact would completely defeat the purpose of templates.

Thanks but I know exactly what a template is for. The whole purpose of the question is shown in the screen shot I uploaded. I could not find a way to open a blank sheet with staves on it. I don't need a sheet with whole rests printed on it. If I tell the gui I want 50 measures it shows 50 measures with whole rests, and the measure lengths are pre determined. 0There is no template that was easily discovered in the template list to just open up a sheet with staves on it, place clefs on my own, place bars where I want them not pre determined. I hope I have explained this because your answer did not help any. But thanks anyway.

If your goal is to enter notes, then you are already doing it correctly and there is no help needed. The rests will be replaced as you enter the notes. So just start entering notes and don't worry about the fact that MuseScore - again, like almost all other programs - starts off with measures already constructed.

Better answer. Thank you. Got it!
