[MU4 Issue] Musescore doesn't allow soundfonts to use samples above C8 or below C0
Describe the bug Musescore 4 doesn't allow soundfonts to use samples above C8 or below C0, even if the soundfont itself supports it.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a score with a soundfont that uses pitches above C8 or below C0 (ex. unpitched percussion)
- Write notes going above C8 or below C0
- Hear that all the notes above C8 or below C0 sound exactly the same as C8
Expected behavior Musescore should allow the use of samples above C8 or below C0

Platform information
- OS: Windows
Additional context This is very inconvenient for things like instruments where the staccato samples are 3 or 4 octaves above the regular notes.
Update: MS also doesn't allow the use of samples below C0, and if they are notated, they play as C8 also

I found that this is a more general problem, not specific to SoundFonts, so I created #16657 and will close this one.
