The following is a list of every known issue with this plugin.

Incorrect handling of microtonal accidental for transposing instruments

Musescore3

In Musescore3 microtonal accidentals are graphic only, and don't affect playback. As such, changing between concert pitch on and off leaves them unchanged, potentially spelling the wrong note.

This could cause the plugin to apply the incorrect tuning offset. To avoid this issue there are a couple of workarounds:

  • Write the correct accidental with the score displayed at concert pitch, and run the plugin. At this point you can turn the concert pitch option off, and replace the accidentals that have to be replaced. Since they don't affect playback, you will have a score with both correct notation and playback.

  • You can write using only single and double sharps and flats, since those accidentals are handled correctly when switching between concert pitch on and off.

Musescore4

In Musescore4 microtonal accidentals affect playback, but due to a bug they are not handled correctly when switching between concert pitch on and off. In these cases the playback is correct, but the accidental written on the score could be wrong.

This could cause the plugin to apply the incorrect tuning offset. To avoid this issue there are a couple of workarounds:

  • Write the correct accidental with the score displayed at concert pitch, and run the plugin. At this point you can turn the concert pitch option off. Unfortunately, since microtonal accidentals affect playback, you can't replace them as you would do in Musescore3, so this method leaves you with a score having the correct playback, but wrong notation.

  • You can write using only single and double sharps and flats, since those accidentals are handled correctly when switching between concert pitch on and off.
