"It ended on a sour note".
"It ended on a high note".
Sometimes we can describe a situation or setting that ended with the comparison to a musical note.
If things ended not mutually fine then one might say "It ended on a sour note".
If the situation or setting ended upbeat and mutually enjoyed then the comparison can be made that "It ended on a high note".
There is no such thing as a combination sour high note in these comparisons. If it is sour- then it is sour- it ended in an unpleasant manner no matter how high the note .....it ended with not wanting more of the same because something had gone wrong and we would rather not subject ourselves to the unpleasantries any longer.
