Oh, indeed, this appears to be an oversight. > Personally I vote for taking this font out and putting it its own package > like the other fonts.

By turning this into a virtual package, Nope. The new soundfont is in SF3 format which means that it contains OGG-compressed samples and is currently incompatible with anything else but musescore itself. As soon as other sound renderers, e.g. fluidsynth, gain ability to use this sound font format, I agree, it should get split into its own separate package and be made available to these other sound renderes as well. > and keeping it as a required package for musescore we effectively allow the > user to pick and choose whether they want to just install the lite or the full > version of this font (of course they can still install both, but this would > give the user that extra option). Not sure why you refer to "virtual packages", but we have simple alternative dependencies for that. However, I think musescore should well depend on its own sound font, but merely suggest the other available ones. > Anyway, just an idea, I don't know what plans you have for the package. Just > really wanting to give MuseScore 2 a spin :). I don't have any plans, I just read the pkg-multimedia mailing list. ;) Cheers, Fabian
