Full tab issue
So I have a short piece of music in standard notation hat was created in an earlier version of Musescore and I opened it in Musescore 4 and I wanted to add tabs to it, as I have done to other pieces, but Musescore 4 starts the tabs starting in the fifth position, it seems, and I cannot force it to start in the first position. Help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Before opening your file, that's what I thought at first: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/23873
But it's not an electric guitar.
So I suppose the fact that the file has been created with Version 3 (as of August 2021) and that changes for V4 have occurred in the handling of some issues concerning the TAB clefs must explain some things.
In any case, see: 1Pasodoblillo.mscz

Thank you so much! As I have several of these and I fear I might run into the same issue again, would you share your findings with me?

Well, for this file, I have:
1. For the first staff, replaced the treble clef with the treble 8va bassa (these two clefs are common and interchangeable in the classical guitar repertoire).
2. Selected the whole staff and did Ctrl/Cmd + down arrow (to go down an octave)
3. For the linked staff, I've replaced the treble clef with a TAB clef.
Cutting the treble clef also works: the TAB clef appears by itself. Curiously enough, this was one of the unexpected behaviors of V3, but it never affected the content of the staff. It was just harmless.
