Yes, I am working on the problem you noted. I want to add a number of things
to MuseScore specifically for banjo tablature so this problem seems like a
good place to start. 

To make things even more confusing, this fifth string also has it's own
capo.

Guitar players sometimes only capo some of the strings, which is another
example. See Andy Mckee's Rylynn on youtube.

So to cover every option I can think of, a MuseScore STRING needs it's own
capo setting and starting fret. Both would be set to 0 in most cases. So,
like you suggested, this problem may not be about determining if its a 5
string banjo, but rather configuring the strings properly at tab staff
creation time/ or maybe 'select tuning' time.

This is a good bug to learn the MuseScore code base. If I figure something
out I will pass it by you before coding anything.

Thanks for your help
