Muse Hub unclear
Linux Mint 21 (Cinnamon)
I downloaded MuseHub, but it's not quite clear how everything is supposed to work.
The Brass section eg doesn't download properly; it's been hanging in the download for two days.
Also, I don't see the Effects section that is mentioned in the video

Futhermore, where does one get soundfonts for this?
I see I have FluidR3_GM in my Soundfonts, but they have always been there? Or I don't remember how I got them there and from where.
IOW I'm afraid I know nothing about VST-instruments and the likes..

Seems like musehub's problem https://musescore.org/en/node/277874
I haven't used musehub, but Soundfont(FluidR3_GM), VST, MuseSounds(MuseHub) are 3 different technologies, pls see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4 playback chapters
You may get more input regarding sound issues if repost at musescore.org Playback forum or the General forum, also try search function https://musescore.org/en/support
The plugin forum here gathers coders to chat about musescore plugin.

Thanks for pointing me the right fora - I'll browse those first.
If i were you, i would install "Muse Sounds Manager" , from https://www.musehub.com/ - at the very end of the page. This does not start a completely insecure service on your system.
VST's (effects and instruments) do not work on the official Linux build..
After installing the first thing to do is:
check Muse sampler: Diagnostics - Muse Sampler - Check Muse Sampler.
This should report: Muse Sampler library is detected, version XXX

Installed Muse_Sounds_Manager_Beta.deb
It reports: "Muse Sampler library is not found"

Depending on your configuration, MS looks for the sampler library under
/usr/lib/libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so
But it can also be under
~/.local/share/MuseSampler/lib/libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so
(On my system, this path did not exist. I had to create it myself)
Look in the logfile where MS looks for it ( ~/.local/share/MuseScore/MuseScore4/logs/ ) or start from command line.
You should have something like
21:50:40.640 | ERROR | main_thread | MuseSamplerLibHandler | MuseSamplerLibHandler:
Unable to open MuseSampler library, path:
/home/XXX/.local/share/MuseSampler/lib/libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so
(or as mentionned above /usr/lib/libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so )
Perhaps do a search on your system for libMuseSamplerCoreLib.so.
If you find it, copy it to the desired location.
If not, the library is initially downloaded to
/srv/muse-hub/downloads/Installers/something/musesampler-linux-0.4.2.37.tar.zip (=latest version)
You should be able to extract it from there and copy it to the location MS looks for it.
if success , the Diagnostics should report version 0.4.2
