This instrument family is extremely wide spread among European wind bands.

Euphonium: Much broader than a regular french horn due to wider mouth piece, but still conical instrument (unlike trombones).

Tenorhorn / Bariton(horn): Mostly only used in Central Europe, these instruments are maybe somewhere between french horns and a Euphonium. STill broader in sound than a french horn, but not as much as a wide Euphonium. Tenor horns are usually less wide and only have 3 valves and a smaller mouthpiece (diameter and shaft). Bariton horns may have a "German shaft" (somewhere in between Euphonium and Tenorhorns) or a wide one (like most Euphoniums) and fill in the gap.

Adding at least one of those sounds, preferably starting with the Euphonium, would really increase the value of Muse Sounds by quite a bit!

Usage: Orchestral wind band or small wind band. Rarely in Jazz.

Honestly, this should be a much higher priority than simply a "suggestion" for euphonium/baritone horn. This has been asked for forever, and the euphonium is one of the most common instruments out there. Certainly more common than cimbasso and contrabass flute which managed to be added. Again, wonderful expansion, but the lack of euphonium really hurts. Remember MuseScore's demographic. Amateur (e.g., high school and college) composers of which the euphonium appears in their most common ensembles (marching and concert band) as a regular member.

S4/S5 is okay for me, but yes: please put it high on your priority list.

It's a relatively simple addition with a big positive UX impact. Martin would love it! 😉
