Description

Here's the button in question:
Musescore Add Palette Button
With it being right next to the search button, the Add Palette button reads as a search bar. I myself read it as such and clicked it before I could read the words "Add Palette", thinking it would be a search bar.

Here's a simple redesign of the menu that I want to propose:
Musescore New Palette Menu
The search bar that originally appears when the magnifying glass is clicked is always present, and the Add Palette button is moved to the bottom.
