musescore-general-soundfont-lossless 0.1.7-2 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu eoan

 This is the HQ version for the new standard soundfont of MuseScore 2.2
 and newer, in uncompressed SF2 format. It has a significantly larger
 disc footprint than its corresponding SF3, but is identical other than
 not compressing the samples with a lossy algorithm. This avoids audible
 Vorbis artefacts and the excessively long MuseScore startup time with
 compressed soundfonts and can be used by SF3-incompatible synthesisers.
 .
 This release of the soundfont supports Single-Note Dynamics with
 MuseScore 3.2 and higher.
 .
 MuseScore_General_HQ aims at providing the best audio quality and
 soundfont programming features, while being a compatible drop-in
 replacement for the less heavyweight MuseScore_General soundfont,
 providing the complete GM (General MIDI) sound set, with separate
 ensemble samples for several instruments, and some extras.
 .
 It can be used with almost all MIDI synthesisers (with SoundFont 2.01
 support) although bugs in early implementations (e.g. MuseScore before
 version 2.2) cause sound degradation. (Install fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont
 which has a compatible instrument assignment for those it supports.)
 .
 As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings,
 but do remember that waveforms generated using this soundfont are
 “copies or substantial portions of the” soundfont.
 .
 The musescore-general-soundfont-small package contains the normal
 soundfont (shipped with MuseScore 3.1+), lossily SF3 compressed.
 The musescore-general-soundfont package similarly provides the
 HQ version of the soundfont (with separate ensembles instruments
 and other large improvements) as SF3, whereas the SF2 HQ version
 is packaged as musescore-general-soundfont-lossless for use with
 synthesisers lacking SF3 support, by audiophiles, and to avoid
 long MuseScore startup times; however with a large disc footprint.
 .
 This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ which
 is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF2 soundfonts.
