Description

Your idea

There is absolutely no indication on the Plugins > Manage plugins... panel that other plugins exist in the world and can be downloaded and installed.

A simple link to https://musescore.org/en/plugins would help.

Problem to be solved

For a long time, I was under the impression that there existed only 7 plugins, some of which were enabled and some of which weren't. There's not even a hint on this page that this isn't the case.

Plugins will get more use if people know they exist and can find them.
