There have been some pitch issues with the last few versions. He (?) has been working to improve it. I am about to test the latest iteration (0.2.73). Some pitch issues were fixed on 0.2.71, hopefully this will take care of the rest in the files I am testing.
The option menu now has a display sort option. If you prefer classic spc2midi, you can select Sample List Order -> Address desc to get the samples listed in the same order they appear in the classic version. I find this view more helpful for my workflow, since each address only appears in the upper section once, and in a predictable order. Then click the "Open" button for the one you want to change the pitch. Then "Center Note" is the same as the note value in classic spc2midi, so adjust to your heart's content. The arrows next to that jumps up/down by one octave. There are buttons at the bottom so you can hear changes you are making to that particular instrument. The play button plays the original SPC sample, and the Preview MIDI button plays the MIDI instrument using the settings listed.

Re: spc2midi-tsuu: A new SPC to MIDI converter
Nice! I was hoping there was a way to return the program back to its original style and workflow since that what I mostly use to make my MIDIs.
However, I am having trouble figuring out a way to adjust the volume to any of the notes that sound faint. The original program had a volume setting for that certain channel.

If you click the Open button to configure an instrument, you CAN adjust the velocity of a particular instrument. This sets the On Note velocity of the instrument, so you can make it play louder or softer with the velocity. It defaults to 100. Range is from 0 (off) to 127 (full).
There is also an option under Option -> MIDI Output Configuration -> Volume Curve where you can choose between Square Root, Log, and Linear. Default is Square Root. So far, I am finding Log to be more to my liking for volume levels.
If you have a github account, you can leave feature requests for the author on the project's "Issues" page. If you don't have one, it's free to sign up. I have moved most of my feedback there so it is easier for the author to keep track of.

Alternately, I made a MIDI editor (MIDI-MIS) to go along with my SNES MIDI Remaster Project when I started using spc2midi 5 years ago. It handles a lot of the "quirks" created by the original spc2midi. I have a volume adjustment feature in it for individual instruments that modifies the actual channel volume for the instrument. I just uploaded a new version with a couple of extra configuration options to account for the way the new spc2midi-tsuu creates files. If you decide to try it out, work with a copy of your file first to test it out. Send me a PM with any questions. Note that it may somewhat change the structure of the MIDI file, since it may need to add in some extra commands depending on what kind of edits you make. See the included MIDIMIS.txt for usage instructions.
