as in, when yiu select a tuning preset

You can add custom tunings. Go to the overview of the different tunings and press "+" at the bottom right. Then put together the notes you need. Give it a name and an icon.

Or did you mean something else?

oh i meant having them included by default under a drop down for guitar

Thanks for the clarification.

I tend not to include tuning variants since this quickly turns the instruments list quite long. For variants the custom tuning functionality is made. You can even directly copy the guitar tuning (by pressing the copy icon to the right) and just modify the notes needed.

thats why it should be a dropdown on the guitar tab

I do not really see the advantage to custom tunings. Predefined tunings are more a list of very common tunings, even though you can already argue, what to include and what not. People, who play more advanced tunings should easily be able to create the tunings they need. Or directly go for chromatic, since they know anyway what notes they want to tune.

Maybe this need can be solved by import/export of a set of tunings?

a drop down of tunings on each instrument seems way more logical and easier to implement
