Package: musescore-general-soundfont (0.1.1-2)

General SoundFont from MuseScore

This is the new standard hard disc space-saving SF3 format soundfont as shipped with MuseScore 2.2 and newer.

MuseScore_General has a low installed size footprint (although larger than its antecessor fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont because it focuses on improving quality), while providing the large GM (General MIDI) sound set and some extras. As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings.

It can be used with most modern MIDI synthesisers which support the SF3 format, although early implementations (such as the one from MuseScore before release 2.2) had bugs making the resulting sound bad; instead use fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont for those.

This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf3/ which is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF3 soundfonts.
