Aguado-Walzer_G-major all notes are rendered 1 octave too high. #99

Description

@paul-bayleaf

In the sample encodings for MEI there is a classical guitar piece, Aguado-Walzer_G-major, but when rendered with Verovio all the notes are rendered one octave too high.

Original image of the first bar:
original-1st-bar

Verovio rendering of first bar:
verovio-1st-bar

To Reproduce
Render https://github.com/music-encoding/sample-encodings/blob/main/MEI_5.0/Music/Complete_examples/Aguado_Walzer_G-major.mei

Compare with original: https://github.com/music-encoding/sample-encodings/blob/main/MEI_5.0/Music/Complete_examples/Aguado_Walzer_G-major.pdf

Expected behavior
Notes should be rendered an octave lower.

This is not a [Verovio issue] (rism-digital/verovio#3641). With a G clef classical guitar music is played an octave lower than notated. However, this sample uses a G suboctave clef. I think this mean that the encoded pitches should be at sounding pitch, not 1 octave higher as currently.

If the fix is simply lowering the octave of each note then I could prepare a pull request for this if required.
