5. Error message

Musescore/system info: OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.3.2-241630831, revision: github-musescore-musescore-22b46f2

Downloaded the latest release 4.2 https://github.com/jgadsden/tin-whistle-tablature/releases/tag/v4.2

Hi there,

I've just done a fresh install of the plugin, downloaded the 4.2 qml and all-whistles xml from the page above. Low whistle appears not to be registered as a whistle. Error message "No selected staff in the current score uses a tin whistle instrument. Use tab "Instruments -> Add" to select instruments"

Screen.Recording.2024-07-21.001913.mp4

Also the low whistle uses piano as a sound font rather than the flute! You can hear it in the recording.

Any help is appreciated!

(sorry for misclick)

I just downgraded to Musescore 4.2.1 from their git releases and followed the same steps, fresh install of plugin and the same result happened. I couldn't find any errors in the plugin code myself.

My guess is that the instrument file needs to be updated for the latest MuseScore, this is something that has been a moving target from version 2.x, 3.x and now 4.x
File all-whistles-v4.xml , line 124 onwards
