Hi James, Peter, The package has been really improved from previews version, thanks a lot! I agree with Peter about Freetype inclusion. I've had a not so good experience on reporting issues to upstreams when using a slightly modified version of MuseScore. So, for the sake of piece I'd just keep it, also believing there's a good reason for that, even I don't know the details.
