There are at least two other places where you might have altered the octave, but it would affect all songs:

Opt., Preferences, Channels. Look in the second column. The bass, for example, has -1 as a default. Is the melody set to zero?

Opt., Preferences, Notation. Is Transpose set to zero? It could be Guitar +12.
