The openSUSE section of https://musescore.org/en/download says:

openSUSE Install through YaST with Leap 15.1 +, or with the command "sudo zypper in musescore". For Leap 15.0 Community packages are availabe.

Firstly there is a typo in "availabe". Secondly, install through YaST or zypper also works on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Thirdly I think it would be helpful to replace the second sentence with a link to https://software.opensuse.org/package/musescore, since community packages are available not just for Leap 15.0 but also for older versions. Suggested text for this link: "Downloads and 1-click installs for all openSUSE versions".

P.S. Is the website in a git repo? I would have just submitted a pull request making these changes, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks for catching these things. Musescore-org is not available as a public repo, but it would be amazing if you could share the final version of the changes so I could put them to the proper web page.

I would suggest:

On openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap 15.1+, install through YaST, or with the command <code>sudo zypper in musescore</code>. Downloads and 1-click installs for all openSUSE versions

Unfortunately I'm not sure whether the above will render the hyperlink correctly - I suspect this CMS will remove it.

Would it be possible to make the website a public repo, so that people can submit pull requests?
