Hi, I recently downloaded Blanchet 1720 SoundFont. I decompressed it and got sf2 file. It should work, but no matter in which program I use it, it has no sound. I don't know what's wrong. Can someone help me? I really need the SoundFont.

If it doesn't work in any program, seems liek the soundfont itself is the issue. In other words, not a MuseScore issue...

in Musescore, Open mixer;
Click Sound: part in Drop-down menu: and find : [ Blanchet-Jeu 1]

in other software, all sounds in Bank 1 (not Bank 0): CC32 is must to set 1.

and sounds starting form 1 (not 0).

CC32 P.Chg. 
Bank Program  Sound 
001  000      ---Not Defined---
001  001      Blanchet-Jeu 1
001  002      Blanchet-Jeu 2
001  003      Blanchet-Jeu Luth
001  004      Blanchet-Jeu 1 and 2

Thanks, it worked. Any idea how to make it work in synthesizer? For example VirtualMIDISynth.

correction:
not CC32... CC0.

Virtual MIDI Synth is just a middle with soundfont and player (or midi composing software).
if your midi files pointing another bank-register (Bank and Program Change) other than 001:001 to 001:004, this soundfont not works with it.
