Question about the pitch of notes in choir synth.
2.1 is the beastie I am working in. In the bass clef, I discovered that the G on the bottom line and the G on the top space have the same pitch and the E on the space between them is pitched lower than the G on the bottom line. It sounds about like the A below that G. What is this choir up to? Beth

What is this score up to?
Could you attach here your score?

Sounds like you are just being fooled by the overtones in the sound being used. The pitch is fine, try swithcing to a different sound using View / Mixer if you find the default distracting.

I don't think I am being fooled by overtones-- I can barely hear them, just the clear, wrong pitches here. I guess this instrument just does not play well in my program. Yes, switching with another instrument works fine, but it was this instrument I wanted for this piece. It plays OK for you, then?

It could be your soundfont. See if a different one sounds better. You can even use a soundfont from version 3 if you like since they all work the same.

OK, I know zero about a soundfont. What is it , where is it, is it likely that it would affect only one instrument (not that i have played them all, but the 5 other instruments I have played have all played fine), how do I find it (or check it, if it needs checking) and what bugs will I likely run into if I change it for only one instrument (if that is even possible)?

Use one of the soundfonts found in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/soundfonts-and-sfz-files#gm_soundfo… under the list of GM SoundFonts and you should have no problems with the sounds. Read up on the synthesizer (this is actually just before the list of GM soundfonts) for info on using a different soundfont. When you download a sound font put it in the path found in you preferences (Edit->Preferences in the general tab).

I think what you are perceiving to be to wrong pitches are the overtones. There's no way you could know which are which, but if it's not the pitch you expect, it's got to be the overtone.
Yes, when I play it soudsd fine, the overtones are pretty strong, but I can still perceive the correct pitch.
2.1 is outdated by quite a bit, upgrade to 2.3.2, or/and even 3.0.5
But indeed without seeing the score we can't answer your question

I am exploring the logistics of getting the exe. file for 2.3, now that my computer did not explode from 2.1. No way do I want 3.0. Sounds like it has more problems than I want to deal with (which is zero). Maybe I should quit saying what version I have. It sounds like it is a cue word to signal someone to yell "Release the hounds!" Sheesh, two of you practically in one letter! ; 0

See https://musescore.org/en/download#Older-and-unsupported-versions
We insist on users to use the latest versions for good reason.
And those that don't tell the version upfront will get asked

Sorry, I just went selectively deaf in one ear and stuck a banana in the other. Now I'm working on my eyes.

And I was joking about not telling the version. How could anyone know where to start if they didn't know that?
