A special thanks to shanewynston, the original creator of the file! A few years ago he created instrument ver 1.xml, which gave me the opportunity to modify it as chinese instrument ver 2.xml, with the following changes:
- Replaced 'Ethnic' genre with the new 'World' genre, which is the updated name for newer versions
- Added short forms for instruments
- Added generic forms for similar instruments, as a response to the similar inclusion in recent updates of the instrument.xml of MuseScore
- Only Chinese instruments are included to minimize file size, other instruments are still visible when used with the original instrument.xml
- More variations of banhu added
- Minor changes for compatibility with MuseScore 2.3

Note: This is not for the simplified/numeral notations. The playback sounds are not Chinese instruments.
Feel free to put feedback and comments!!

Really thanks!Do you have any Chinese instruments sound-fonts? The Chinese instruments' sound effect in Musescore are not correct.
Best regards,
Elliot.
I Tried To Add Soundfonts To The Chinese Instruments, But It Didn't Work :(
But Great Job Though :)

Maybe Because I'm Using Musescore 4 So I Can't Find It :|
Also Shouldn't The Templates Be (.mss) Not (.mscz)?

Not so. The .mss files are Style files, whereas the Templates are Score files (.mscz).
A Template score may or may not have an associated Style file.

Thanks For Reminding. Maybe I Clicked Style And Thought I'm Clicking Template 🤣
I wish I understood what this.
I'm not hearing anything different, so I definitely did something wrong.
