When a note is selected, the status bar currently displays the note's written pitch, even for transposing instruments where the playback pitch (a.k.a. the concert pitch) is different.

This should be changed so that if the playback pitch ever differs from the written pitch, both are displayed rather than just the written pitch.

For example, if the instrument is an A Clarinet and the selected note is a D4, the status bar currently displays this:

Note; Pitch: D4; Duration: Quarter; Voice: 1; Measure: 9; Beat: 2.5; Staff 3 (A Clarinet)

Instead, it should display this:

Note; Pitch: D4 (concert B3); Duration: Quarter; Voice: 1; Measure: 9; Beat 2.5; Staff 3 (A Clarinet)

Note: When the “Concert Pitch” option is enabled, the entire score is displayed transposed to concert pitch, matching the playback pitch. In this case the status bar should display just a single pitch:

Note; Pitch: B3; Duration: Quarter; Voice: 1; Measure: 9; Beat 2.5; Staff 3 (A Clarinet)

This feature was requested in #306320: Status bar.

_Fix #306370: Status bar should display playback pitch of selected note

Enhanced the status bar so that whenever a note is selected, the playback pitch is displayed in addition to the written pitch if they differ; i.e., if the note belongs to a transposing instrument and the “concert pitch” option is not currently enabled._
