Description

Your idea

  • As a Castilian Dulzaina player I would like to include the "Castilian Dulzaina" in the list of the instruments that can be selected when creating a new Score:

CastilianDulzainaIntrumentSelection

  • As a MuseScore use I would like to be able to have the right Stave properties when creating a Score:

CastilianDulzainaStaveProperties

  • As a Castilian Dulzaina player and a MuseScore user I would like to enjoy a specific Soundfont for this instrument:

CastilianDulzinaSoundFont

Problem to be solved

  • "Castilian Dulzaina" is not in the list of available instruments when creating a new score
  • An specific transposition is required for this instrument that should be setup when creating a new score
  • There isn't a soundfont for this instrument

Additional context

Castilian Dulzaina is quite popular in Castille (Spain). Some examples:

As a proof of concept I have created a MuseScore version with this intrument:

  • A new soundfound have been created recording some samples and building a new sf2 file
  • This sf2 file has been added to "Ms Basic.sf3" in a free bank (11)
  • An new familiy of instrument has been added to instruments.xml: Dulzaina (There are "Castilian Dulzaina", "Aragonese Dulzaina", "Valencian Dulzaina" ...)
  • Instrument definition (longName, shortName, aPitchRange...) has been added to instruments.xml
  • QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP (Family) and QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP3 (instrument names) has been added to instrumentsxml.h
  • A new family (Dulzaina) and subcategory (Castilian) has been added to soundid.h as well as the corresponding strings
  • Mapping has been added to windssetupdataresolver.cpp and soundmapping.h

I have generated a mp3 file with this new soundfont and MuseScore: Bailes de procesion cancionero castellano v2.zip

I would really appreciate any help or comment

Kind regards
