musescore-general-soundfont-lossless - 0.1.4-1 main

This is the new standard soundfont as shipped with MuseScore 2.2
and newer, in uncompressed SF2 format. It is significantly larger
than the SF3 in the musescore-general-soundfont Debian package
but identical, other than not compressing the samples with a
lossy algorithm. This avoids audible Vorbis compression artefacts
and the excessively long MuseScore startup time with compressed
soundfonts.
.
MuseScore_General provides the complete GM (General MIDI) sound
set and some extras, with a focus on improving quality. The SF3
versions attempt to keep the installed-size footprint low, at the
cost mentioned above.
.
There is also a musescore-general-soundfont-small package in SF3
format which also avoids the long startup times by using less and
smaller samples; it has a very small installed size, while being
a drop-in replacement.
.
The SF2 soundfont can be used with almost all MIDI synthesisers,
although bugs in early implementations (e.g. MuseScore before 2.2)
may cause sound degradation.
.
As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings,
but do remember that waveforms generated using this soundfont are
“copies or substantial portions of the” soundfont.
.
This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ which
is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF2 soundfonts.
