Description
Your idea
The clarinets in D, C, A, and G should be assigned to clarinet in E♭ and B♭ sounds as a fallback as long as there are no real samples for those instruments.
- D should fallback to E♭.
- C, A, and low G should fallback to B♭.
- There is no Clarinet in high G but once added to MuseScore it should fallback to E♭.
Similarly, bass clarinet in A should fallback to bass clarinet in B♭.
Problem to be solved
The clarinets in D, C, A, and G are not assigned to Muse Sounds but instead use MS Basic by default. This sounds pretty ugly in combination with a Muse Sounds orchestra.
