Hairpin global setting
When writing for instruments with two staves, like piano, I find it tedious to specify on inspector for each hairpin "staff". Is it possible to chose global properties for all hairpins in the piece? So the default becomes what I chose as the default setting, say "apply each hairpin to just the staff it's attached to". If I want to change in a specific bar the hairpin to the whole "part" (ie, both staves), then I can go into the inspector to make the change, but the default is maintained otherwise for the bars which I did not specify "part".

Right-click->All similar elements->Inspector?
You have to set each hairpin's dynamic range in the inspector. The good thing is the you can right click a hairpin and choose select all similar elements and change the dynamic range on all selected hairpins ad the same time.

When I right click a hairpin, chose "select all similar elements in the same staff" and set "staff" in insepctor, there is no apply button and so I do not see it apply to other hairpins?

Simply select the desired option. I'm gonna go check it out, but it looks like it's working.

Thanks for the samples. I have musescore 2, it does not work on it. I tried to upload my existing compositions to musecore 3 and I did not like the results. Maybe I will start using it for my new compositions.

You don't need an apply button. As soon as you change the doprdown choice, it is applied. Just like if you change the offset. As a test, try changing the offset on all selected hairpins and watch them all move at once.
This works the same in both versions 2 & 3.

Suddenly it's working! Thanks the tip of testing with offset! Cool way to visualize:-).

It's possible that you right clicked a hairpin that already had the range changed. If you did, then changing the range to what is already set for that one hairpin might not work for all of the selected hairpins. To assure you always get a change on all of the hairpins, change it to something you don't want then to what you do want. This will assure that the change always happens.
I've run into this at times. I want to set offsets of several dynamics to -1 and discover that this number is already showing up in the box. I change the -1 to something else then -1 and all of the items move to the proper offset of -1. You may have experienced something similar when changing the dynamic range didn't work.

Thanks for that, it must have been the issue initially.
