Out of shape note to keyboard notation
Hi. I am a Total Newbie at MuseScore, as in much else. I'm not even a musician, just a lyricist who happens to be the partner of a church musician. I like to compose new words to shape note tunes, and my congregation is willing to sing them, but my partner finds the three or four separate staves of most shape note settings hard to track all at once. Does MuseScore have a way to reduce the multiple staves to two "normal" two-line staves (ie, SA on the treble clef and TB on the bass clef)?
I apologize if this exists and I simply haven't been able to find it yet.
ANY guidance would be helpful.

You can use a template as SATB Closed
If you use the SATB Closed score (Recommended) then be sure to read about voices so you can understand how to put notes on the staff. Also, version 3 has the ability to show notehead shapes. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/notehead-scheme for more info.
