Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Create an empty guitar score with tablature.
- In style settings, set chord symbols spelling to other than standard (e.g. German).
- Add custom string tuning.
Actual behaviour:
There are standard note names in the tuning block, which is confusing (notes and chords use different spellings in the same score).
Expected behaviour:
The tuning block displays note names respecting the spelling which is set for chord symbols.
Supporting files, videos and screenshots
Here you can see that the score uses German chord spelling (e.g. "H7") but the note names in string tuning are still English, e.g. 2nd string is tuned to H which can be seen in the 1st measure (a "0" on the tablature corresponds to an H on the staff), but the tuning block says "2 - B".
