So I'd like to add a cello solo in the middle of an orchestral piece but I can't find any place where I can add a new stave for the instrument and also specify it is for a solo
Still the same technique applies - create the staff, add the notes, then enable hide empty staves. Either for the whole score in Format / Style / Score (so all instruments disappear when not playing) or just for this staff in Staff/Part Properties.
I tried it but I can't retain the same key signature if I try changing it either it changes in the next measure or the thing in the second picture happens
Hard to say what's going wrong from just a picture, but if you attach your score and give precise steps to reproduce the problem, we can understand and assist better.

It's not actually a cadenza just like a clarinet or flute or something part where only one instrument plays, but with the cello
