Thanks. The optional free soundfont "Timbres of Heaven" helps MuseScore 2 to sound somewhat better, although that soundfont is not without its flaws.
Also, I made variations in volume on the midi notes, to make it sound more like how I would actually play it on a real instrument.

Well, it's probably not going to change much, can't afford the high-dollar music apps & gear. This is probably about as good as it's going to get, as far as the tools themselves.
But there's the possibility I might learn better ways to use what I already have. That can only go so far, of course, before reaching built-in limits, but it's an interesting challenge in itself.

Lol well that would not quite be my goal (he needs more fiddle tunes IMO lol), although he seems to be very good at what he does and some of it is quite interesting.
My main interest in any of this midi stuff is as learning tools, to give me new ideas for stuff to play.
