Pressing number after mouse click works for a different line in "Italian" styled tablature staff

I don't see an "Italian tabs" instrument in the list, are you sure it's called italian tabs for the instrument?

There is a Tablature style, "Tab. 6-string Italian", available for e.g. Guitar and Lute (see the OP's username ;-)). But that note input going to the top line is not specific to it, happens with a 'normal' Tablature too

I don't know if it's a bug: I have almost zero experience with tablature staff, but click on the 1st/2nd/3rd/4/5/6th line (from the bottom) and press a number, the number is attached to 6/5/4th/3rd/2nd/1st (also from the bottom) instead of also 1/2/3/4/5/6. This is aberrant to me, is this supposed to happen?

EDIT: Definitely not, "common" tablature works normally from 1st to 6th.

Apparently, a side effect of: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/20fe03cf18723c149352c03c6…
To fix: #276511: Entering notes with mouse fails in Italian TAB

Please check this new PR doesn't break the previous fix.

It doesn't, because the function this PR changed, cmdAddFret(), only affects number pressing, whereas the function PR #5398 changed, noteValForPosition(), which is called after cmdAddFret(), affects both mouse clicking and number pressing. And that's exactly the reason to fix in this way, visualStringToPhys() for string number is also executed after number pressing, which shouldn't happen, so in cmdAddFret() we have to execute physStringToVisual() to pre-revert (what a word) the impact.

_fix #298362: pressing number after mouse click works for a different line in "italian" styled tablature staff

Resolves: https://musescore.org/node/298362.

This is because the string number is reversed for number pressing (for upside-down tablature staves) while in fact it isn't needed. So a physStringToVisual() is called in this patch to eliminate the effect. See https://musescore.org/en/node/298362#comment-965223._
