Adding a treble clef
I have written a vocal score, it would be convenient to add another treble clef to the piano part. The additional clef would be used to read the horn parts. Is it possible? Appreciate your help.

Yes it is.
But I can explain it only for MuS 3.6.2.
There I press 'i', select staff 2 (bass clef) of the existing piano and use the button 'Add staff'.
Maybe you need to modify the bracket and the bar lines to cover all three staves.

I added the staff, but I can't get the bracket to cover both treble clefts and base clef. The score window shows both treble clefs bracketed but not the base clef. The piano part continues to show only one treble clef and the base clef. Am I going to be able to do this?

Double-click on the bracket. You will then see a little square handle at the bottom. Drag that down with the mouse.

Thank you> I elongated the bracket. However, after saving it, the piano part, then exported it. The piano part still has only two staves-treble and bass. The second treble staff although it appears in the score, does not transcribe to the piano part.

As I said, I am on MuS 3.6.2 and there it works as desired. But I may create the parts only after brackets and bar lines are changed.
Unclear: what do you mean by 'exported it'? Creating a part or export as e.g. PDF or mscx?
See the parts excerpt for the piano with three staves:

If you had already generated the part before adding staves, you may need to open the "eye" for the staff in the part to have it show there as well as in the score.
If you continue to have trouble, please attach the score so we can understand and assist better

Thanks! open the "eye" for the staff in the part. I don't understand, how do you do that?

Look in the Instruments panel and you'll see eye icons. Open the listing for the instrument in question and click the closed eye to turn it into an open eye.
To add another staff, simply open the listing for the instrument in the Instruments panel, then click Add staff.

Thanks. Opening the instrument panel . I couldn't find "the eye" But, I got the 3 staves connected the barlines as well as the bracket. But now the piano part disappeared from from the tool bar above the score window. I want to export the piano part but now it's not there to export.

It is always a good idea to mention which MuseScore version you are using. "Eyes" has only been around since version 4.x .

Unfortunately those aren't screen shots - it's a PDF of the score. We'd either need the score itself - the MSCZ file - or an actual screenshot showing your instruments panel open. Or, preferably in this case, both. Your OS should have a built-in way to take screenshots.

If you previously closed the piano part, you can reopen it from the Parts dialog (see top toolbar).
