Synthesizer menu
Good morning everyone, I would like to propose restoring the synthesizer menu with the tuning variation on MS4 to create scores with a tuning other than 440 Hz.
Thank you

Since Sound configuration is now done in the Mixer: Synthesizer... not planned... see: https://musescore.org/en/node/334701#synthesizer

I read the link you sent me but I don't understand why MS4 has removed the tuning variation function, which is so convenient for composing music for example at 432 Hz or other tunings.

I miss it too. But there are lots of other missing features, alas: https://musescore.org/en/node/334701
As a workaround: select all (Ctrl + A) / Properties / Playback / Tuning: Set to -39.25 cents, and you'll get a 430Hz pitch - image below

Thanks... and for 430,5 Hz which tuning cent? I need to set 430,5 Hz to have the tuning exactlu in rapport to numbers Geometric progression of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and so on.

A at 432 Hz doesn't respect the perfect proportion of C in geometric progression. Instead off A at 430,5 Hz tuning the C frequences is in geometric progression, starting from C = 64 Hz and so on.

On the basis of more or less 4 cents per Hz, depending on the number of digits after the decimal point... I edited my previous message, I had calculated it for 430Hz instead of 432, my bad, ie - 40, or 39.25.
So for 430.5: subtract around 42 cents.
EDIT: If you want to check by ear, create a score with the V3 and the pitch chosen in the Synthesizer, and compare the result with that of the V4 and the pitch change with the cents. And you can fine-tune things if necessary.
But within a few cents, I'm not sure the ear will hear the difference, at least immediately! 😁

So you want drop A = 440 Hz to A = 430.5 Hz
number of cents = 1200 x log2 ( 430.5/440 ) = -37.8 cents
Cadiz1 - Dropping from 440 to 430, where do you get -39.25 cents from ?
I get 1200 x log2 (430/440) = -39.8 cents

Yes, my bad, you are right.

It's a moot point, I can just about hear the difference between 12 cents, no less.

Me too, but between 1 and 2 cents, not sure!

Thanks rothers so much
