I just noticed something weird last night when I was practicing violin with Band in a Box.

The lowest note displayed on the violin fretboard is G4, when in fact it is G3.

The lowest note displayed in the guitar fretboard is E3, when it fact it is E2.

Toggling the fretboard options don't seem to do anything, and I am not quite sure what they do anyway. What does "Fretboard octave" do?

In any case there would be no case in which the lowest note on a violin fretboard would be G4. I will always be G3.

And E2 for Guitar. So I don't get it.

I always transpose the octave for guitar music and the notes I HEAR on NOTATION are accurate, and they are in the right place on the fretboard (they are just being called out as an octave higher than they should be.)

This does not impede me in any way, but I just thought it was odd and I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks and sorry if I am missing something obvious and being stupid.
