Bug description

The numbering of octaves in german translation is inconsistent: The octaves themselves are numbered/named correctly (with the exception of “Oktave 0”) but the pitches are not:

The pitches should be named

D9 = d⁶
D8 = d⁵
D7 = d⁴
D6 = d³
D5 = d²
D4 = d¹
D3 = d
D2 = D
D1 = D₁
D0 = D₂
D-1 = D₃

Alternatively, sometimes apostrophes and commas are used (d⁴ = d’’’’ and D₂ = D,,) but I’d prefer numbers for better legibility.

Also, the “Oktave 0” should be “Subkontra-Oktave”.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Set language to german.
  2. Go to instrument properties.
  3. Change amateur or professional pitch range.
