cursor.addNote()
I use cursor.addNote() to create a Cm chord (root position). However, instead of Eb, I get D#. I know, enharmonic and all the theory, but although it sounds nice, it looks bad. Is there a way to fix it?

Try setting the TPC for the note as well as just the pitch: https://musescore.github.io/MuseScore_PluginAPI_Docs/plugins/html/tpc.h…

It's a good idea, but addNote() does not support the tpc value, and does not return a pointer to the note created either. The workaround is a long way, especially when the need is only for rare occasions.

I think you can use Chord.add(note) for a newly created note element; which will allow you to set the TPC.

Hi, I'm interested in your solution. My goal is to add notes with the right pitch/tpc/accidental (because E#<>F, C#<>Db, ...)
Can you describe how you did ?
This is my solution for this:
if (element.type == Element.REST) {
// 1) Creating a chord by adding a basic note with the right duration ,
// rewinding the cursor and retrieving the chord at that place.
// This is the only way that is working and that doesn't crash MuseScore
//console.log("==ON A REST==");
var cur_time = element.parent.tick; // getting rest's segment's tick
var duration = element.duration;
oCursor.rewindToTick(cur_time);
oCursor.setDuration(duration.numerator, duration.denominator);
oCursor.addNote(newNote.pitch);
oCursor.rewindToTick(cur_time);
var chord = oCursor.element;
note = chord.notes[0];
} else if (element.type == Element.NOTE) {
...
}
console.log("Setting the note");
// 2) Setting all the properties of that note
note.tpc1 = newNote.tpc1;
note.tpc2 = newNote.tpc2;
note.pitch = newNote.pitch;
// etc...
