Is this possible to change the note name from c3 to c4?

No, it is not standardized. That is I guess a good reason for it to be changeable.
this appears to be a topic brought up from time to time:

So, no is the answer… I don’t understand why they don’t make it moveable. Simple fix
That would be so much logical for musicians. Middle C is C4 in piano.

Exactly. However some people think middle c is c3… Many programs and pianos have it programmed that way. But it’s very annoying. It should be a preference. Not sure why the Germans chose it that way. It’s literally the 4th octave on the piano

Still no way to correct this absurdity ?

After a few exchanges with tech support they confirmed this is Yamaha’s standard enforcement. the only way to let people choose if they want the musical (C4) or Yamaha’s (C3) standard for middle C is through this forum.
The option is available in Dorico so why not in Cubase ?

When MIDI became a thing, there were two schools, Yamaha with C3, Roland with C4. Cubase’s Middle C has always been C3, as are most of the old school sample libraries and synths. MIDI instruments have almost always hovered around C3, Roland was always the odd one ‘back in the day’ with it at C4. Can’t recall where the middle was on my Juno 106 though.
Logic lets you switch between the two, but Cubase was always C3, which matches up with all my hardware here (except my Roland XV3080 haha)… It’s still the same note (Note 60) just different notation.
