About the bass-tuning. When I do

c,4\3

The fret position and the high of the C wasn't what I suspected and which
should be the default imho.

when I do

c4\3

The note is ok, but the fret position not...

Do you realise that Bass guitar is a transposing instrument that is written one
octave above where it sounds?  Are you taking this into acount when you
say the note is in the wrong octave?
Yes, and I believe that's the problem here... In bass-tuning the note is displayed correctly, but i should be transposed one octave higher (as you point out Andrew), and that isn't the case here. I dunno if that was the idea of Wilbert. I think when you choose the standard tuning, the notes and fretposition are ok, but then you have 6 strings, instead of four....
