New Instrument. "Irish Tenor Banjo"
Hello,
For my own use I created an 2nd instruments.xml with definition of "Irish Tenor Banjo":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <museScore> <InstrumentGroup id="plucked-strings"> <name>Plucked Strings</name> <Instrument id="irish-tenor-banjo"> <longName>Irish Tenor Banjo</longName> <shortName>ITB</shortName> <description>4 string Irish Tenor Banjo</description> <musicXMLid>pluck.banjo.tenor</musicXMLid> <StringData> <frets>19</frets> <string>43</string> <string>50</string> <string>57</string> <string>64</string> </StringData> <clef>G8vb</clef> <barlineSpan>1</barlineSpan> <aPitchRange>43-69</aPitchRange> <pPitchRange>43-76</pPitchRange> <Channel> <program value="105"/> </Channel> </Instrument> <Instrument id="irish-tenor-banjo-tablature"> <trackName>Irish Tenor Banjo [Tablature]</trackName> <init>irish-tenor-banjo</init> <description>Irish Tenor Banjo (Tablature)</description> <musicXMLid>pluck.banjo.tenor</musicXMLid> <stafftype staffTypePreset="tab4StrCommon">tablature</stafftype> <!-- <clef>TAB</clef> --> <genre>common</genre> </Instrument> </InstrumentGroup> </museScore>
This works quiet well together with the built-in instruments.
Does somone have any suggestions or corrections?
I am still a beginner with MuseScore.
Thank you,
Guido

Hi, if your tenor banjo is tuned GDAE (which I assume it is) how did you get your code into musescore. If it works that may just be the thing I am looking for.

As @Jojo-Schmitz already noted, I added a second instrument list in programm settings!
BUT: With MuseScore 2.0.3 you can also use the instrument "Mandoline [Tablatur]".

I'm using 2.0.3 and I can't see "Mandoline [Tablatur]"

Type in the instrument window (shortcut "i") in the search field "mandoline" or switch in that window from "common instruments" to "all instruments" - you'll find it under the section "plucked strings".

Did you search for it? Type "Man" into the search box. Or switch to "All instrument" instead of the default "Common instruments" in the dropdown at the top of the window.

thanks Mark (as always). Just accessed it and hadn't spotted your reply
Would we want this "Irish Tenor Banjo", including tablature, in MuseScore's instruments.xml?
