Jeux pipe organ soundfont customisation
As you will know from the Technology Preview forum, John McCoy is very kindly allowing us to customise the Jeux Soundfont for use with MuseScore 2.
The first stage of that customisation is now complete - the changing of the presets to Banks 1 and 2 so they don't conflict with Fluid's GM presets. We hope that this is temporary as Werner is working on resolving the conflict problem.
What we need now is for people to start using the soundfont and give feedback about which presets work successfully with MuseScore and which don't.
During this development stage the soundfont will be available from the MuseScore project's working download space at FileFactory: http://www.filefactory.com/file/5gd4e3a73mqx/MSjeux14_sf2
Eventually, it will be uploaded to MuseScore's own filespace.

Thanks for working on this, Michael!
However, the link provided leads to an .exe file. Even assuming I can trust an .exe downloaded from a generic file sharing web site, I cannot run it on Linux.
I understand the band width concern, but what about we 'differently operating' guys out there? (particularly for a file which is mostly OS-agnostic like a sound font)
Thanks,
M.

It shouldn't lead to an exe file.
It should take you to the download page for the .sf2
That's what happens when I click on the link in Firefox?????
Which browser are you using?

Eeep - Filefactory have just changed all their protocols. Hadn't realised it was doing that!
I think the best plan is to upload a copy to a public file on my Google Drive.
I will do that later today.

Why not on musescore.org?

Because it's not a finished soundfont, and will be changing a lot over the next weeks.

Same is true for the nighly builds and the translations. Both are on MuseScore.org

Yes, but I can't just save it direct to musescore.org as I can with Google Drive.
