Description

Issue type

Muse Sounds bug

Bug description

At ~mf and higher dynamics, notes below ~G2 on Marimba are unnecessarily harsh, resulting in a sound that is more 'hard mallet striking wood' than actual tone of the bars. This makes low marimba bass lines sound rough when they should be more resonant.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create new score
  2. Add Marimba instrument
  3. Add notes below G2
  4. Add dynamic mf, f, or ff
  5. Observe the harshness of the marimba sound
