How To Create A New Score
I just opened Musescore 4.0.2. It's so different that I can't even figure out how create a new score!
I want to create a jazz "lead sheet" with just a treble clef and chord symbols. In creating a new score I'm prompted to select "Family" (I select keyboards), "Instrument" (piano), and "Your Score" (??).
There's a drop down box under "Your Score" that says "Order". I don't know what "Order" means.
All I want is a treble clef. But no matter what "Order" I select I get a new score that includes treble and bass clef. How can I get just a treble clef? There used to be a selection for that. Is that gone now?
Also, is there a way to install an earlier version of Musescore? I need to get moving and I can't even get started. I don't have time to learn a new system.

See: https://musescore.org/en/node/315496 for an overview (and Instruments Palette)
Ok, I think I found something that works, although weird. I have to choose another instrument such as "guitar" to get just a treble clef in a new score. "Piano" only gets treble and bass clef. Right?

The handbook is a good place to start. The basics section for example has this https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/setting-your-score

You probably were using 'Choose instruments'.

In the New Score dialog, click 'Create from template', then 'General', then 'Treble Clef'..
In 'Jazz' there is a 'Jazz Lead Sheet' with a handwritten look, "fakebook" style.
