Suggestions for Orchestral/ Ensemble Writing
Hi, Musescore developers and community members,
Here are two suggestions that developers can think about for their next update.
Add word processor abilities to Musescore to create a cover page, list of instrumentation, composer's commentary, etc., within the project itself.
Secondly, please allow the ability to customise ensembles and save your own "ensemble templates." Perhaps I am writing for a specialised orchestra, and then I do not want to take the time to manually edit the classical or symphony orchestra selections offered by the software first. It will make composers' and arrangers' lives so much easier if this becomes a reality.
Thank you, Musecore team, for being amazing.

Re your second request. It is already possible and has been since way back when.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/templates-and-styles and in particular https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/templates-and-styles#saving-template.

Ah, ok, I see that now. Thank you!
But they definitely need to add my first suggestion, too. That will be wild.

I think that, for the most part, all the things to do your first thing already in MuseScore. Just kind of spread out.
You can add an image with a title. And list instruments and a composer commentary.
