I have now researched again, using a new installation of Windows 10 (1809), on which only the system fonts, fonts of some programs and those fonts that I often use in MuseScore were installed. Our font rendering stack now includes support for font variations (harfbuzz (1.4), pango (1.41.1), freetype (2.8/2.9). For an more information see this tutorial. The fonts I installed were installed using the Fonts option in the Control Panel (drag and drop). Fonts with Variations allow one to change the font appearance (weight, spacing, etc.) over a continuous range of values, all with just one font file. properties dialog Shift Ctrl T: We need to press Apply after having made changes. To change the font style (as they were defined with the installed font) we can either use the default style icons from the tool panel, or adjust it using the Text > Text an Font. These fonts were again not visible in MuseScore 3. Therefore we will be presented the font family only from selection in the top panel. To fix this, select the character in the font tab and use the Edit character option to remove any artifact. Worse still, they weren't visible in Scribus 1.5.4, Inkscape 0.92.3 or Gimp 2.8.22, but in MuseScore 2 and LibreOffice 6 (of course also under Windows 10's Fonts dialogue). See the illustration on the right for an example. Then I copied these fonts with a file manager (Free Commander) directly into the Windows’ font directory (C:\Windows\Fonts). Strangely enough, there was no indication whether the fonts should really be overwritten, i.e. After this action they were suddenly available again in Scribus, Inkscape etc., but still not in MuseScore 3. In the Control Panel, I selected one of these recalcitrant fonts and checked its properties to see if this font is actually stored under "C:\Windows\Fonts". It wasn't there! It was in "C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts".
