For better instrument sounds you might try the Timbres of Heaven sound font. I used it for a while to obtain a more realistic plucky banjo sound than I was getting from my Mac's built-in midi instruments. I learned where to install it so my tablature writing/playing software, TablEdit, could...

Can you PLEASE make iRealPro save all the playback settings -- style, key, tempo, instrument selection, relative volumes -- each time a song is saved? And make it so these settings are not subject to being overwritten by whatever you do next in some other song? Seriously, can you imagine what...
