Harmon mute vs. straight mute for trumpet
I've gotten muted trumpet to work in the latest version of MS, but when you apply + or "mute" it is a Harmon mute, not a straight mute. Does anyone know if/when a straight mute will be supported in the app?

As a trumpet player, I know what different mutes sound like. It might be a harmon. It might be something else. I wish they'd spend time making the regular trumpet sound better. As it is, it is very sloppy and blatty.

Blatty is a good descriptor. I did submit a Github request for an enhancement.
