Electric Guitar (treble clef) incorrectly transposes when linking to a TAB staff

[mkj42]

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce

With the instruments Acoustic Guitar (treble clef) and Guitar (treble clef) if you link a TAB staff, it behaves correctly as expected.

If, however, you try to link a TAB staff to Electic Guitar (treble clef), the TAB is incorrect (transposed one octave too high).

I haven't checked yet, but I doubt it to be a Mu3 regression

I corrected the regression status already, but the regression tag still stands. I didn't issue the tag; I don't know how to remove it.

No worries, I removed the label (only team members can do that). As a workaround, I guess that editing the transposition in the Staff/Part properties dialog might work (which is probably what the instruments.xml fix will essentially be).

I've done it for my personal 3.7 Evo. The corrected file is on the issue there: https://github.com/Jojo-Schmitz/MuseScore/issues/552

Update: I successfully modified the electric guitar (treble clef) section in the instruments.xml file, using the other two treble clef guitars for comparison.

I updated the string data (+12 on each of the six entries)
I verified correct clef, transposing clef, diatonic and chromatic transpose entries (all were correct)

This issue can indeed be easily fixed by changing the included instruments.xml. instruments.zip

For MS4, I think @shoogle will need to make those updates in his Instruments spreadsheet. For easier editing, the current instruments.xml file is namely automatically generated based on a spreadsheet.
