MuseScore 4 save as
So far I have always created the parts of a score and with "save as" I have created parts independent of the score itself. I used this procedure, for example, to extract the Organ part from the Continuo part while retaining the numbered bass and the Cello and Violone part, where I could delete the numbering without damage. In MuseScore 4 this procedure does not make the part independent, so if I delete the numbering from the Cello part, it also deletes it from the Organ part and the score. Is this a limitation of the software or is there a procedure that I have not found?

I think this option was removed as we've also had a set of complaints about the old behavior. "Save As didn't save my score because I just happened to be working in a part at the moment of saving".
You could still "Save As" the entire score and then remove the instruments/parts from it which you don't want in your copy.

Bad news. And bad idea. How then can one create parts that are totally autonomous from the mother score?

Agree, this should come back.

You could "Save As" the entire score and remove the other parts from it if you wish to create such a decoupled score?

At first I was as confused about it as you are... Then I found this workaround that does the same job:
From the Instruments tab in the left side panel delete the instruments/ clefs you don't need in the new file, then 𝙎𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙨 to create a new file with the remaining part that would be independent of the mother score...

Thank you. It seems like a good alternative.

A guy ended up in the ditch because he swerved wrongly. Let's abolish steering from cars!!!
