Note pitch bad indication
Hi, Gang!!!
I use MuseScore 3.0.2, Portable AppImage, in Ubuntu Studio 18.04.1 LTS (64 bit Linux).
I discovered something... "Weird" (to me).
Please, see my "wonderful" (hi hi hi!!!) piece, called "Extreme Frequencies Test".
Despite the fact that it is not a real musical piece...
If you put the mouse on C5 signed as "Octave"... You can see the Note Pitch Indicator Line as "C5", but... You can hear it as the real "C6"!!! It is the same to all the others notes above it.
The same to the lower notes.
Is it a bug???
I think the Note Pitch Indicator Line should show the real playback note, not only the visual note.
Just my idea...
Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

This certainly looks like a bug.
I have a notion there was previous discussion of this and that the consensus was, this is how people wanted it. Certainly in other cases we tell you the written as opposed to sounding pitch (transposing instruments). But I do recognize that octave markings are different. Let's gather some more opinions, maybe see if we can find the older discussions of the topic...
I wonder... why not to show the absolute frequency (Hertz) of each note showed into the Pitch Note Line, too???
In reply to I wonder... why not to also… by jotape1960
That really seems overkill, the vast majority of people would not need to know about this, and in any event, the actual frequency depends on the tuning used by the synth / soundfont
