tl;dr: I’m working on *all* MuseScore soundfont issues.

First, I realised that SF3 cannot be “source” because it’s compressed using a lossy algorithm, which is why I packaged the soundfont separately. (As a side effect, I raised the Vorbis quality of the SF3 in Debian a bit because of user reports of audible artefacts in the one shipped by MuseScore.) Second, as of today, MuseScore 2.2 and up will use their new soundfont MS_General, although FluidR3Mono_GM v3.212 is con‐ sidered identical to MS_General v0.0. (They fucked up though and don’t have the SF2 for v3.212 so we’ll just stick to the v3.215 I already uploaded.) I will now do the following: • make fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont ship a symlink MS_General.sf3@ -> FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3 • make the upcoming uploads of musescore depend on a high enough version of fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont as alternative to the MS_General soundfont • package MS_General separately once it reaches a stable release (it’s currently being issued as alpha test versions) • keep fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont in the archive • continue advising the MuseScore team upstream about legal issues (I’ve already reached some successes with that) In short: I’m on it and have everything I need. bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
