Bass Guitar is a transposing instrument?

Open belfie13 opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

I just found out why Logic writes bass guitars one octave higher, apparently they are a transposing instrument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposing_instrument

So bass guitars (and other instruments) are written at concert pitch but they sound 1 octave lower.

I'm not sure if we should do anything about it, unless the majority of other apps do the same then maybe we should?
