Regression: notes for bass guitars show in wrong octave in normal staff vs. tablature staff

1) Create a new score for bass guitar -> Add a linked TAB staff
Here the empty test file: test bass.mscz
2) In Tab staff, input the open string ("0) on each line/string
- Expected result in the standard staff
- Current result: wrong lower octave
- As far as I see, four instruments are impacted: bass guitar + acoustic bass + electric bass + 5-str. electric bass:
See the test file for that: four instruments.mscz
Comments
oups, sorry.
So, as mentioned earlier, it's a side effect of this commit: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/e59dd8795dcbf8c17393c8f7b…
For fix: #153891: Electric basses are still non-transposing instruments with F8vb clef
About the Acoustic Bass, the origin goes back to August 11, 2016.
- This nightly shows always the bass clef 8vb for this instrument :ebd1f20
- Not this one: 56a90d0
So, seems a side effect (don't know how) of this commit? https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2255/files
The same issue got avoided for "Guitar (Treble Clef)" after discussion in https://musescore.org/en/node/38581 and https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2255 by 'uping' all strings by an octave
It basically is adding a 12 to all strings in instruments.xml for the affected instruments
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3125, for master, but I think (and hope) this applies cleanly to 2.1 too
