Editing a transposed score in lute tablature

• Jan 17, 2025 - 03:35

Hi folks. I've made a tablature score I'd set for sounding pitch of a'415. Now if I press enter a new tablature symbol, it sounds a half step too high relative to the rest of the music already entered. The staff notation is similarly stumping me. I've included the file. I look forward to which of you clever people can tell me what obvious feature I'm overlooking! Thanks. —Richard

I opened your score in MuseScore 4.4.4 and every staff plays back at A415.

But as you described, if I add a new measure and enter a note it sounds like A440. I have no clue on the cause ... but I can verify your experience.

The existing notes all have individual tuning adjustments (down 100 cents). When you enter a new note it gets entered at default pitch (A440). Either adjust all the existing notes back to 0, enter new notes and then adjust all back again or enter the new notes and adjust as you go. MS 4.x doesn't have the global A=440/415 or whatever than 3.x had.
