MuseSounds: muted trumpet is way too quiet
Helloooo. As the title says, my score has a muted trumpet which, despite being forte, is so quiet that it gets mostly drowned out by the other instruments. You can see this in the second trumpet in the attached score. Switching to "trumpets a4" makes it slightly louder, but not by a lot. Changing to ff or even fff does pretty much nothing too, so I'd love if forte was louder by default since I don't really have a way to turn it up otherwise as far as I'm aware.

My thoughts are these. You may not agree.
One way to make something louder is to turn other things down. Right now, most of what I hear is percussion and piano. These are Basic sounds that are louder anyway. And viola is loud, which you have turned up. A muted trumpet is just going to be softer. Though I'm not wild about the muted sound to begin with.
Many of the percussion sounds you have as Basic are also in Muse sounds. Even un-muted the trumpets don't stand out, because of the volume of other instruments.
