Errors in Handbook
I noticed that some of the errors in the previous handbook were corrected in the current one; however, there are still a number of errors (mostly typo-like) in this one. So I have two questions:
a. Is this the correct forum, or should it be "report a bug"?
b. What would be the best way to present the errors
1) List them in a post (pg # and line)
2) Listed in a [word] document
3) Shown with a number of screenshots
4) Some other way?

Fix the typos in the handbook yourself. Click the 3 dots next to the page title. If you mess it up too bad certain people can undo it.
As mike mentioned, the online handbook is a wiki-style thing that any user can edit/correct/amend as they see fit. So just dive in and correct them.
When you're in doubt, feel free to open a post to discuss the change you're wanting to make.

This really doesn't seem to make sense to me -- you're saying I can change anything I want, and that's what everyone will see??

No, still a problem --
When on the page to be edited, I clicked 'Edit' -- instead of staying on the page to be edited, it sent me to this page. ??

You can alter the text in the textarea as required (feel free to fix all typos in that page at once), then you indeed press the Save button to have them stored and made available for all.

So, click 'Save' after each PAGE of edits -- that's not as much trouble!
Just a few more to do.

Okay, got a lot of things fixed; however, there remains a number of items that it would not be feasible to try to fix this way, without navigating to a Page Number. --Maybe a project for the "certain people" that Mike mentioned:
Then again, it may not be considered a serious enough issue to address. The problem is this:
There are hundreds of instances of the terms "right-click" & "left-click." But there are 22 instances of "right click" and "left click" (without "-") If anyone is able and willing to fix these (for consistency's sake), I'll provide the page numbers.

One of those certain people is Jojo. I've seen him quickly go through and find and fix several inconsistencies in a short time. I'm not sure if it's because MuseScore made him special, he's just fast or he has a utility that makes it fast.

Maybe it's not possible, but the simplest way would be using a "Search & Replace" function.

Let's see what Jojo says when he wakes up in a couple of hours.

Page numbers won't help.
Will look into it.

There is not a single "left click", but indeed 14 "right click"
Fixed now
One helper is the handbook as a single HTML, https://musescore.org/en/print/book/export/html/278625, helps in finding them, but for fixing you'd just have to open the individual page

I meant to say, instead of "Left click", part of the 22 were "double click" - so I guess there were eight of those.

Hmm, didn't (yet) look for double click
Edit: 8 times indeed...
Edit 2: no longer ;-)
