Another plus is normalizing the reverb amongst instruments, which helps overcome the problem of sf2 samples recorded under mismatched acoustic environments. Two of the most useful effects are equalization, which goes a long way to improving the realism of individual instruments, and tweakable 'chorus', which is a godsend for passages where, say, the 1st and 2nd flutes are playing in unison. The interface is beautiful and easy to work with, and the ability to add LADSPA effects separately to each sf2 instrument makes it ideal for orchestral scoring. It's a great example of what you can do it you take full advantage of Musescore's playback facilities in conjunction with an external sf2 sampler. It's called 'I'd've Said It Was Love' and here's the link: //youtu.be/LdFzy-OcTDo Finally found the time write a new full-orchestra arrangement with Musescore using lmms (Linux MultiMedia Studio) as the instrument sampler. I've been absent from the forum for months owing to extra-musical projects.
