Hello, I am not familiar with this request window but I would like to suggest to add a ''Charango TAB" option to the liste of plucked instruments. As someone posted before, the standard Charango tuning is (From the 5th to the first pair of strings. Note that only the 3rd string has both octaves) : G4 G4 • C5 C5 • E5 E4 • A4 A4 • E5 E5.
Meanwhile, could you tell me please how to TAB customise an existing plucked instrument ?
Best wishes

To customize a tab staff, right-click, Staff/Part Properties. You'll see options for setting number of lines of the staff, also the tuning of the strings, also under Advanced Style Properties, more stuff that is tab-specific. For more info, see the Handbook sections on tablature. And if you have further questions, please use the Support forum, where many more people will see and be able to help - some of whom might be more familiar with charango than we developers here are!

Especially with Santaolalla "Last of us" music, I think that adding some intruments of the Charango family to MS is worth the effort, e.g. Charango and Ronroco. The ronroco is a bit bigger and a 4th lower with standard tuning (EE-AA-Ee-CC-GG and BB-EE-Bb-GG-DD respectively, where lowercase represent one octave lower than uppercase). This is the standard tuning, there is another tuning called "diablo tuning".
