To get a more realistic sound for scores for classical guitar you can choose/use another soundfont.
For the sound on this website the standard soundfont of musescore has been adapted.
- Replaced 000:024 'Classical guitar' from the standard soundfont (MuseScore_General.sf3)
by 000:000 'Classical guitar' (as 000:024 'Classical guitar')
from SpanishClassicalGuitar-20190618.sf2 on freepats.zenvoid.org
- added 004:024 'Cl.Guitar muted' as 001:024 'Cl.Guitar muted'
- added 024:024 'Cl.Guitar Harmonics' as 002:024 'Cl.Guitar Harmonics' from Classical-Guitar_Ichiyanagi-v1_03.sf3 on www.hedsound.com
This soundfont can be dowloaded here (MuseScore_General v0.2-adapted.sf3).
To use the muted and harmonics sound use an adapted instruments.xml, see MuseScore preferences
See mid staff change for usage (with MuseScore 3).
The file instruments.xml also contains the Portuguese Guitar (Coimbra and Lisboa), see wikipedia.
Example usage of harmonics and muted/pizzicato :
- Harmonics in measure 59 and up in Ludwig van Beethoven - Op. 13 Sonata No.8 Pathetique - No. II Adagio Cantabile - arr. Francisco Tárrega
