Description

Describe the bug
The date macros ($d, $D, $M) for header/footer show the dates in US format (MM/DD/YY)

Expected behavior
Same as MuseScore 3 and before: obey MuseScore's language settings or the computer's regional settings

As an alternative (and the least thing to do) use the ISO format, YYYY-MM-DD

EDIT: The change to ISO format has been done meanwhile, as a temporary workaround, as being better than the US format,
but the locale dependant mode of MuseScore 3 (and before) hasn't yet been reinstated
