Hi,
I want to make a write a bass part in a note editor eg rosegarden, nted
or mscore.
1. Is the bass player playing 2 octaves lower then the guitar player?
2. How do you put this on score? Just put the low notes with a normal
key or do you change the key or something?
3. Which app can handle this well and how? (I know Rosegarden can do it,
by ctrl down).
Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Bass guitar parts are usually written on the bass clef, just like the
left hand part of a piano score, and should be in the same key as the
guitar part (no transposing needed). Bass guitar, like guitar, sounds
an octave lower than written. The 4th string on the bass (low E) is
two octaves below the low E (6th string) on a guitar.

But for recording with rosegarden and linuxsampler.... does the bass
*.gig file also sounds a octave lower than written?
I'll try it, comments are welcome.

That depends on the sample/soundfont. While I know that the standard-midi-sf2
fonts from the soundblaster sound as "noted", my external roland plays each
instrument transposed to a "convenient octave" (convenient for small
keyboards, not for midi-playback).
So you actually have to test it. I think soundfonts/samples are supposed to
sound as the midinote is. But now you know about the possibilities and
nothing can scare you. :-)
Have fun,
Arnold

No idea how gigasampler files may be arranged. You may have to setup
Rosegarden so it knows to play an octave lower.

It depends entirely on the specific GIG instrument. Normally, afaik, most
instrument authors map the samples to their true pitch. At least that is
true for all orchestra libraries I know of, you otherwise would have a lot
of "crazy" transposing to keep in mind. But I don't know if it's also
true
for all bass libraries in general.

That's right, the standard method used is to sample the pitch as it is. Not
doing it that way is a PITA for both the author and the user. Then again,
transposing a step or two isn't that much of a big deal.

The standard 4-string bass (either guitar or upright) is tuned *one*
octave lower than each of the bottom four strings on a guitar,
(i.e. E-A-D-G).
Five and six string basses usually have a low B string tuned a fourth
lower than the low E: B-E-A-D-G or B-E-A-D-G-C.
