Note pitch frequency
Good evening.
I notice that when I select a note on the staff, I can view the name of the pitch on the bottom bar. For example Bb2. How can I find the pitch frequencies in hertz? I've looked in the inspector and didn't see what I'm looking for. Any other place to view this information?
Thanx

See:

for a chart of frequencies (also downloadable as a pdf).
That information is not available in MuseScore. There is an overall tuning (defaults to A being 440Hz) that can be seen and changed in Synthesizer, and there is a tuning offset that can get seen and applied to notes via the inspector.
I suppose someone could write a plugin to provide this info.

That would be useful for those of us who are using Musescore to generated audio for import into a DAW. Because once it's in the DAW, I can still refer to the score while I'm generating additional tones in the DAW. Example = I drag audio clips that I have scored into my Audacity. Then, once it-s in Audacity, I can measure the pitches with Pitch Change. But it would also be helpful if I could measure those pitches just by clicking on notes in the score. That will also give me a clue to the intonation. Because A could be 440 or 445 depending on how I have programmed my Musescore. I think? Can I do that? Because I might want to repitch my Musescore at times.
