PDF version of Handbook out of date
First of all, thank you for this fabulous software. I have used a number of different notation programs over the years but this program is more functional for me than anything I have used in the past. I just downloaded MuseScore 1.0 today and entered a test leadsheet to try things out. I was reading the downloaded PDF version of the Handbook on my iPad while working on my desktop computer. I was having trouble with the shortcut for entering rests. I found out that the latest Handbook has changed but the downloaded PDF version is out of date.

The pdf of the online handbook is generated just before each release. The previous release was in February, so indeed some handbook pages are for sure changed already. Next release is not scheduled yet.

Is there a reason why it can't be updated regularly?

So far it has been manual work, by launching a python script. There is always something going wrong, so manual intervention is needed. As long as there is no general need to have the manual updated on a regular basis, I guess it's ok like this. Correct me if there is indeed a general need.

Maybe it could be manually updated at the end of each month? There's a long log in Recent Changes.
Since the program includes a local copy of the handbook, which is more up-to-date than the PDF version that is available as a download and the web site has an on-line version of the Handbook, perhaps there is no need to have a downloadable PDF version. There would be fewer versions to maintain.
Ditto.
I don't see a reason why the online PDF (September 2010) shouldn't be updated :D.

So to make this happen, someone is supposed to come forward and run the python script.
