TAB Notation for Harmonica
Hello,
I want to create a TAB notation for HArmonica as a instrument in the instrument.xml
I seems that to find the right documentation/describtion is not easy.
The available plugin are not that I'm looking for.
It might/should be possible to handle the harmonica like a tabbed instrument with one tab line and one "string" so it would be possible to change the Key of the tabs in the automatic musescore way..

You could create a tab for harmonica. You would need to select which "string" is on your harmonica. Here are the steps:
Create a score with a plucked instrument (I chose a ukulele since it does not transpose, that it it uses standard treble clef)
Add a tablature staff in the instruments dialog (change it from standard to simple 4 string)
Right click the treble staff
Change the string data so there is one string (I arbitrarily chose G4 since it was already on the instrument).
Also change the fret count if needed, keep in mind, the max usable number is currently set at 24.
Change the long and short instrument names if they will ever be displayed
Right click the tablature staff
Change the number of lines to 1
Adjust the range if you want to.
Open the mixer (press F10) and change the sound to Harmonca
If I remembered everything you should be good to go with a max 24 hole harmonica tablature.
