Description with steps to reproduce
The MuseScore 3 handbook pages have a useful header to direct users to the MuseScore 4 handbook. Unfortunately, the page-specific search links are broken.
This is especially frustrating as the MuseScore 3 pages tend to be the top ranked in Google search results.
Example:
- Go to Text basics | MuseScore
- Click the header link: "For MuseScore 4 users, see Text basics"
Expected: Get directed to an appropriate MuseScore 4 handbook page, e.g. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/text
Actual: 404 Not Found
