In my opinion, solo brass sounds in MuseSounds are a bit sloppy. Real players would never play most music that way. In your case, when I changed the sounds "Trumpets" and "Trombones a3", I thought this piece sounded a bit better.
Thank you for your quick response. I just started using Musescore yesterday and any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try your suggestion today and the very best to you and yours from Denton, Texas.

Smir- When trombone player moves from one note to the next, they need to move the slide quickly in order to perform the two different notes cleanly. If the player moves the slide too slow you will hear all of the pitches between the two notes which produces a glissando or smir effect.
Ah... Thanks for the info.
The slide, when used purposefully, gives the trombone that "fun-sounding", at times comical, gliss.
However, when it's necessary to play distinct notes in succession, I can now understand that "Middle School Trombone players" reference in your other post... ;-)

What's a trombone smir?
A middle school trombonist? ;-)
If your goal is to produce polished audio files as output consider options like finding a better soundfont, using VSTi (instruments), adding effects, etc.
