MuseJazz LilyJAZZ Text Font (work around for MuseScore 4)

In MuseScore 4, overwriting the MuseJazzText font currently does not seem to work.

Here you can find a temporay work around... You mileage may vary...

• Download the renamed font from here and install it on your computer.
  
• Put this file into the "Styles" folder of your MuseScore 4 installation.
• Open a MuseScore 4 file.
• In MuseScore 4, go to "Format" - "Style" - "Chord Symbols".
• Under "Appearance - Style" click on "Custom" and pick the file you have put into the "Styles" folder (named "chords_jazz-LilyJAZZ.xml") and confirm by clicking on "OK".
  Should MuseScore not displey the chord names properly when you re-open your file, you may have to select "Standard", then re-apply "Custom" and select the stylesheet again...

Caveat: MuseScore 4 does not seem to read all glyphs from this font - the D.S. symbol e.g. will be read from the built-in Jazz font... 

Edit - no caveat anymore: Found a solution to display the correct symbols:
Copy this style sheet into the "Styles" folder (cf. above) and apply it to your score - job done!

Edit II: With the latest update the style sheet above is no longer necessary - the correct symbols are now hard-coded... ;-)

Edit III: With 4.4.3 the style sheet is needed again... :-(

MuseJazz RealBook (Vol. 2 in Bb) Text Font (for MuseScore 3)

This is a customised version of the MuseScore MuseJazz font for MuseScore 3. As MuseScore 3 includes a Jazz music font, the original font was renamed, hence this update of the previously pulbished font (see post MuseJazz Customised Font).

As before, this font overwrites the built-in MuseJazz Text font and uses it instead of the default one.
However, if you want to revert back to the built-in font, you can just delete it, and you will get the original font back.

PREMIER Birch Drum Kit for Reaper

This is a refined version of the Kontakt library published earlier.

The samples used are not processed, and there is only one layer. However, the kit undoubtedly has  a charming character...
It is set up as a track template for Reaper using ReaSamplOmatic 5000, offering seven tracks for mixing and adding additional effects.

To install, unzip the downloaded file and copy it into the TrackTemplates folder in your REAPER resource path folder.
In Reaper, go to Track / Insert track from template..., click on the folder PREMIER Birch and select the template PREMIER Birch.

MuseJazz Customised Font

This is a customised version of the MuseScore MuseJazz font, a labour of love ... conceived about two years ago. It has been worked on and tweaked for a long time, now I think is the time it can go public and be shared ...

Most glyphs are based on scans of the REAL BOOK (Vol. 2 in Bb). Glyphs that could not be found  were made of parts of available glyphs. 

If this font is installed, it overwrites the built-in MuseJazz font and uses it instead of the default one.
However, if you want to revert back to the built-in font, you can just delete it, and you will get the original font back.

And this is what it looks like:

Font Sample

The font contains all the glyphs of the original font. All glyphs have been replaced:

Roland Blues Cube Stage IRs

Finally managed to record two IRs of the BluesCube Stage.

The first one was recorded from a distance of about 2 inches from the centre of the cone, the second one from the edge of the cone, also about 2 inches away.
The microphone used was an audio-technica ATM450 cardioid condenser microphone.
