I'm on a Mac Pro computer. When I click on View, there is no inspector in the drop down menu. I've looked in ever menu choice and there is no inspector listed. Anyone know a work around. I just want to mute all of the chord symbols.

Thanks for the question. I think you're probably using MuseScore 4, which has been a MASSIVE overhaul and everything looks different. This video is referring to an earlier version of MuseScore: version 3.
What you do in version 4 is go to View and make sure Properties is checked. Properties will then appear as a tab in the left hand sidebar of your score.
If you want to mute all of the chord symbols, right click on ONE of the chord symbols, and in the drop down menu click 'select', and then 'similiar'. All your chord symbols should now be highlighted.
Next, with all your chord symbols still highlighted, click on the Proprties tab in the left hand sidebar, and under 'general' (the first drop down menu) uncheck the 'play' box. Your chord symbols should now all be muted.
I'll try to do a video on this soon.
