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.
