As pointed out by oneplane in a separate comment, it's because the link points to the print version. An interactive version exists at https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/ https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/ where the text is actually a link to the print version. I'll give you, it's a little odd that it even appears on the print version, but not the worst thing in the world.

Oh, dear. There's a glaring style error in line 2 of this document. It has quotation marks around "Print this Document". For no reason. That's not what quotation marks are for. That's not how anything works. Oh, dear. There's a glaring style error in line 2 of this comment. It has the punctuation on the outside of the quotation marks for no reason. That's not how punctuation works. That's not how anything works. Protip: It should be "Print this Document." Period inside the quotation marks. People on the internet see other people putting it on the outside, and monkey-see-monkey-do spreads. But look at any professionally typeset document, and you'll see it in its correct position. (I hope you take this in the mirthful spirit in which it was intended. Also, Apple shouldn't have capitalized "Document," unless it was intended to be a subtitle. But I'm not sure what the purpose of that line is.)

  Actually, if you check some style guides, you'll find that there is debate on this question. And rightly so.

  Strongly disagree with editors that make this decision. I don't care what field they're professionals in, I think it's wrong. You end a sentence with a period. The quote is within the sentence. It doesn't make sense to update the quote. A quote may be a fragment, a sentence, or multiple sentences.

Because the link actually is to the print version of the document, there's a very strong argument to be made that that's effectively the subtitle of this specific version. And that is something quotation marks are for.
