Version 4.5 Instruments palette
Interesting. Did they really mean to relabel it to "Layout"? What does that even mean?

I had noticed (https://musescore.org/en/node/375286#comment-1280539), From the second paragraph::
via the Layout panel (formerly called Instruments). Click Add to add an instance, which you can drag around between instruments as required, and click the cog to configure which types of item are shown there.
You can also use System markings now. So not only instruments anymore.
Out of self-defense, My brain always seems to go to the worst case scenario. So now we can add, in the main score, various things to each or selected parts. From the new Layout palette. I can add a rehearsal letter to each main set of staves. And/or tempo. And on and on. This might seem like a neat idea on the surface. Can you imagine how cluttered a 30 stave score will look? Especially one already marked with lots of dynamics and hairpins and articulations. I mean, the score is already open so that these things can be added (why) right there. Without having to change palettes. It might be different if these things weren't in the individual parts already when you add them in the score.
In the mean time, do slurs and velocity chances work?

The usual convention is to add them to the top staff, and the top of the string section. People have been asking for this for years, and the only way it has been possible was to use one of the pre-existing templates.

I just noticed that if I add a rehearsal mark to a score, and then C+P it to the same measure int the string section, that opens the setting in the new Layout palette. Then everything I add thereafter gets added to both places. No one would do it that way, of course. But now that I know about it, I just might start doing it because I don't have to leave the score and go to the palette.
Or not. I don't use MuseScore to make scores for live musicians. Even on the rare occasions that I might, all markings are in each part. Which seems more important.
