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:

  1. Go to Text basics | MuseScore
  2. 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
