Pdf Handbook: missing spaces
There is an unexpected formatting issue in the handbook (29 Apr 2016). Look at the Breaks and Spacers page, for example.
In the pdf version the words "A/a" and "line break" (in bold) are unexpectedly joined together:
But if you look at similarly emboldened words on the same page of the pdf, such as "page break" or "section break" the space between the phrase and the previous "A/a" is (correctly) retained:

As an experiment I tried to modify the handbook (I hope it is not a nuisance).

It seems that if the phrase "A line break" starts immediately after a line break in the website page, it formats normally in the manual.
But if the phrase "A line break" occurs anywhere else, there is a missing space in the pdf manual:
There is another inconsistency. There is a space missing in the pdf between "The" and "Inspector:
But the space is present between "the" and "measure properties" (further down the pdf page):
If you look at the markdown code on the page there seems no obvious reason for this difference.

The same problem of missing spaces in the pdf is still there as at 1 May 2016 (See the "Breaks and Spacers" page again, for example.)
Another long term issue is that the handbook pdf ignores "Restore last view settings" in Acrobat reader. It always opens at the front page.

How can the restore view settings be a problem with the actual PDF? Sounds more like an Acrobat issue, not?

Every other document follows these settings except the MuseScore handbook.

Maybe because the readed recognizes the handbook as a new and different document?
Which it probably even is, being regenerated once a night.

No. It returns to the beginning each time even with the same document (NOT a new download).

In which case, I can't see any way a PDF file should be able to defeat that. A PDF is a PDF. If your particular reader is not respecting its own options, it seems like a bug in that reader - or perhaps something else going wrong that isn't obvious (like, the folder ia symbolic link and is reading with a different path from one invocation to the next, causing it not to register as the same file). But I can't magine how any PDF could possibly contain an instruction to override a program setting like that.
