1. Open attached file.

Expected result: The final note is D♯.
Actual result: The final note is E♭.

Note: Guitar Pro 1.5.0 for iOS and TuxGuitar 1.2 show it as D♯, whilst Harmony Assistant 9.6.3f and MuseScore 2.0 show it as E♭.

The attached file was taken from a complete score and edited in TuxGuitar 1.2. The original song and transcription it was likely based on were E♭. The key signature in the original file had been E♭, but I don't know if it may have been removed - it doesn't seem to show in the Guitar Pro app.

Discussion: Whilst I would probably be inclined to go with the result of a native app, I'm not sure if Guitar Pro is processing it correctly.

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (5d60529) - Mac 10.7.5.

This has become more elaborate than I thought it would be.

Could users discuss this here, or perhaps on the forum instead?

As far as I understand, GP doesn't store enharmonic info but just tuning and fret position... so it's a guess work starting from there... I put this bug on won't fix. Reopen if you have an idea to actually fix it.
