It was suggested that I post this here.
The pipa is a popular chinese solo instrument that is tuned A-D-E-A (thickest to thinnest).
I'm unsure of how the notation traditionally is put but as I've read it (only performed with it twice, though) it was in bass clef 8va.

The Atlas Ensembles page on the Pipa is great and I'd recommend givin g it a read before eventually implementing the instrument!

If there are no comments, considering the features Add/Delete a string and Edit string data could it perhaps be closed?

You could use a banjo and modify string data, range and clef to your needs.
But then again I see no reason why we couldn't include that instrument for the next version of MuseScore
