Pitch in MuseScore Is Off
I have tuned my guitar with two different tuners. I am trying to notate a song in MuseScore and test it with my guitar. It isn't working because the notes in MuseScore are about a half-step low. I clicked "Concert Pitch", but it didn't help. How do I fix it?

I believe MuseScore Studio uses A4=440 Hz. What do your guitar tuners use?
MS3 had the ability to globally change the pitch (A = 440) but MS4, so far, is lacking. Whist I'm no Segovia, I can play a guitar and IMHO it's pretty trivial to re-tune your guitar to match MuseScore.
FWIW, my tuner says MU4 is at roughly 440.

Maybe a sample rate problem?
Thanks for the replies! Based on what I'm reading, I suspect it's a problem with my computer then. I was hoping there was a way to "tune" MuseScore. My tuner is set at A4=440.

Yup, it was apparently the computer. Today the pitch is fine.
I'm having the same problem, only it appears for all MuseScore software I've been using on computers in my house are playing the pitch a whole step too low. It seems the Synthesizer is not available, as I've turned every stone looking for it in Musescore, looking up online instructions, and haven't found anything.

Just double checking there are no transposing instruments involved here, like a trumpet or a clarinet, since these will play one whole step below what is written. If, on the other hand, such an instrument is used, you can press the "concert pitch" button to show the score as it is sounding.

Nope, it was just my computer having an off day. It might be due for a deep clean.
