Instruments Play Back As Only Piano Online

• Dec 22, 2015 - 19:11

I'm arranging John Williams's Olympic Fanfare into a Drum Corp-ish piece with brass, front ensemble, and batterie, but after I posted it online, all the instruments played back as piano. When I play the score in the Musescore app, everything plays back fine (a trumpet sounds like a trumpet and drums sound like drums). However, after uploading the score to musescore.com, all instruments play back sounding like a piano. this is the score- https://musescore.com/user/91231/scores/1547676. As you can hear, it's just a mass of pianos! Also, when I re-downloaded the score from the link and opened it in the Musescore app, all the instruments played back just fine. Any help about how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

Presumably, you used a custom soundfont in MuseScore to get the sounds the way you like, but custom soundfonts are not supported on musescore.com. All playback uses the default soundfont. So instruments liek the special marching percussion sounds provided in some soundfonts won't be present and will play back as something else (or as silence).
