Any possible way to change the pitch of wind chimes on MuseScore 4?
A music teacher at my school recently came to me for help regarding changing the pitch of wind chimes in MuseScore (I assume she was using MuseScore 4 and was trying to help one of the students in one of her classes) but not even I could find a way to do it. I tried researching online but couldn't find a way.

I'm not an expert on the audio-generating portion of MuseScore, maybe somebody will chime in. I think changing the pitch of wind chimes will be... messy. Either version of MS takes which instrument sound libraries are used to produce the audio, and the result is what we hear. To effect a pitch change in one instrument 'patch' (instrument definition / library), some facility will be needed to do this. MuseSounds (MS4, MuseHub) are not to my knowledge amenable to being modify this way. Alternative soundfonts you could install into MS3 may allow this, but then you're talking about soundfont tweaking, again, messy....
Completely OUT of the MuseScore eco-system, this would be far easier in a DAW software / sequencer package, where individual instrument sounds are much more isolated, and therefore tweak-able. But now we're out of the notation world... Cockos' 'Reaper' is an up-and-coming free DAW for Linux, macOS or Windows.
