New Instrument. "Irish Tenor Banjo"

• Aug 23, 2015 - 14:17

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.
