Description
There is a request to add an option to adjust the global tuning / pitch for playback in Hz (for example, for old music). In MuseScore 3, this was possible using the Synthesizer panel, which does not exist anymore.
As a workaround, one can select all notes and adjust the tuning for each note individually, but this needs to be re-done for every newly added note, so is not considered a worthy alternative.
As another workaround, one can use any pitch shift VST effect on the master channel.
The duplicate issue https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15566 suggests a way to implement this in relation to microtonality, but it might be preferable to keep these features separate from each other.

Research direction
Review the discussion linked from the issue, the former MuseScore 3 Synthesizer panel, and duplicate issue 15566 for implementation context. Done means providing a global playback tuning option in Hz so newly added notes use the setting without per-note adjustment, while considering how it relates to microtonality.
