Bass clef in Guitar Pro file

• Jun 29, 2013 - 01:31

1. Open attached Guitar Pro file.

Result: The bass stave of the piano imports as a bass clef.

Note: In Harmony Assistant and TuxGuitar, it imports as a bass clef, but in both, the octave of the notes appear incorrect.

Discussion: It maybe to do with the way the other software possibly treats most instruments as guitars and as a result, conforms to the limitations of its range?

Whilst on the subject of clefs, the one for the bass guitar is different in MuseScore (bass clef 8va), compared to the others. Like the piano, the note seems to appear at the wrong octave.

Note: The attached file was taken from a complete score and edited in TuxGuitar 1.2.

Discussion: In Harmony Assistant 9.6.3f, TuxGuitar 1.2 and Guitar Pro 1.5.0 for iOS, the note is an octave higher, but the clefs appear to be the same as MuseScore. The original transcription, in which the file was likely based on, matches MuseScore.

I'm not sure how things should proceed. Is the clef wrong in MuseScore, perhaps?
