How to re-dock pallettes.
Somehow I managed to undock the pallettes window and can't figure out how to re-dock it. It used to move to still show the whole first page when I "F9d" the pallettes or went to "top".
I remember clicking on some icon at the top of the palletes window, the pallette changed position and now the feature I described above no longer works. Instead actuating F9 overlays the window on top of the left-most page.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am still using 1.3
Thanks.,
:)
Does
I was intrigued

1. Click on an empty part of the (EDIT: first page of the) open score and drag it to the 'right' to create room on the 'left' side, where the palette normally appears.
2. Then click on the Palettes title bar (the area between the word 'Palettes' and the 'X') and drag it far left until you can see the full tab of the open score.
3. Release.
Regards.

I guess I should have been clearer. I have done that.
Once I do that, however and press "Home" it hides behind the pallette again. It used to abutt the pallette previously..

Drag the palette out of the MuseScore window.
Double-click on the palette toolbar: the palette is anchored or released;
Drag up to the top edge or the left edge, and release when you see the blue area.
Was this?

It's just not working:
Previous to my experimentation, when I would "Home" the score, if the pallette was hidden. the score would nest in the proper place, the top left corner.
When I would invoke the pallette (F9 for example) the pallette would appear and the left side of the score would abutt to the edge of the pallette, still nesting in the top left corner of the desktop that was not covered by the pallette.
Now, however, the score is anchored to the entire desktop, regardless of whether or not the pallette is visible.
I would like very much to go back to the previous behaviour.
Thanks,

behaves as in the image. Maybe you need the usual solution: Revert to factory settings?

I'm on XP.
When I double click, it appears or disappears.

Wonderful! Works perfectly! Thanks!

Thank you!
Try this (do not have the MuseScore window maximized):

Bingo! Thank you.
It took a bit to understand it although your instructions are so clear, and I had trouble getting the blue to show and I was just moving the pallette in and out and suddenly it locked in again.
Very grateful.
Doesn't work for me. I think I've resized the palettes' window and maybe it prevents it from docking again. But I've tried the different techniques, I can't get it to dock again.

Try this:
Double click on the title bar itself - where it displays the word 'Palettes'.

This works for me, though I had this item on my list of bugs before I read the Side Panels[1] section referenced from the Workspaces chapter. I would have expected this information to be in the Palettes[2] chapter because I was trying to dock the Palettes window.

I had this issue too. I undocked and then closed the pallette and then it wouldn't let me dock after that (No blue prompts). It started working again when I switched between basic and advanced pallettes.
The simplest way to do it is literally just double click the title bar of the palettes window. You can drag it back into place, but double-clicking also works.

I tried that with the Master Palette and it just changes to full screen and then back to a smaller window when double clicked again.

Master palette won't dock.

Indeed, the master palette is not intended to be something you leave up, it's really only there to repopulate the regular palette as needed, like if you deleted something from it. Since 3.3 or so it's basically irrelevant because anything missing shows up under "More" in the regular palette.
