Percussive Organ Patch Glitch
I'm using the percussive organ sound on a composition I'm working on(it's the closest to a jazz Hammond B3 setting), and the Ab near the bottom in the staff isn't playing the right pitch(it's actually playing D somewhere in Treble Clef). Is there a fix for this? I just installed MuseScore on a new PC, I haven't had the same problem on older PCs.

You're likely hearing an overtone due to the synthesizer playing the note. This happens in electronic music. Try changing the chord it is part of or even change the tuning by a few cents to see what happens to it.
See #291724: Percussive organ plays Ab2 and A2 wrong - seems to be a known bug with that particular soundfont, sound, and that notes (and the adjacent A) in particular.

My suggestions was the more common reason for the issue. Glad it was a known issue so at some point it can be fixed. The current workaround is to use a different sound font for that instrument in the mean time.
