I'm currently working on an arrangement on Smash Brothers' "Gang-Plank Galleon", and there's a little issue regarding the trumpets. If two+ trumpets play middle "E" on any dynamic, it sounds muffled and off and it sticks out by quite a lot. I don't really know why such thing is occurring, but I would really hope this would be fixed so it doesn't stick out quite as much as it should. Thank you! -David Chavez

This is an unfortunate side effect of the way digital synthesis works - two identical waveforms superimposed on each other leads to lots of strange audio effects. Workaround is to modify one of the two in some way - silence it, change the volume, detune it, shift it slightly in time, etc. In MuseScore, these adjustments can be made with the Inspector or Piano Roll Editor.
