Hi. I have been testing several days Musescore, 1 and 2, and, like has said in the other section in the forum, it`s very nice for score editing.
But i have been looking in the sound output/midi performance, and i see it`s very poor.
I guess that the point of the "Soundfont" section of the forum is because you want to improve the output of your Score. BUT, the realism in the sound is not only a better soundfont. In the case of wind or bowed instruments, you need to control the sound of the samples in the time, like a "crescendo". But i see that Musescore dont support any midi CC, even the "expression" one, or the "volume" other. Only statics notes (maybe im missing something i dont know)
I exported a midi file made with a sequencer, I loaded it with Musescore, re-save (without modifications) the same file to midi, and re-opened with the sequencer. All the information about crescendos, Pitch-bend, etc was lost. And that data is what makes the performance of your score more "real".
What you need, much more than a better soundfont, is a better management of midi CCs.
Would like to see that Musescore include them in the data imported, and better, that allow you to edit them.
That, i asure you, will make the day&night difference in your playback realism,even with small soundfonts.
Would like to hear your opinions,
BR
