LinuxSampler is one of the best samplers available for Linux, yet the installation process requires a high level of technical expertise. My instructions differ from the official instructions by observing the following rules:

2. The instructions explain any technical terms that are beyond the vocabulary of a typical computer user.
3. The instructions are current. They refer to the latest versions of Ubuntu and the latest code for LinuxSampler.

Transposition in MuseScore 0.9.5 and earlier makes guesses on the pitch-spelling of the transposed notes and often guesses incorrectly.
