An easy way of doing that is to create a "release" for it.  You specify the branch/revision, give it a version number, and then github provides a direct link to download a zip of that revision.

Yeah, I had to look those up!

You don't really mean 10 seconds do you?  I just tried this, but it sounds like the key is never released.  The damper should silence the string in a fraction of a second.

Quote:Attack of 0.1 on soprano recorder sounds unrealistic (the instrument is supposed to have that chiffy start), so I removed it.

The reason I put that on is that a few notes have pronounced squeaks at the start that make them stand out from the rest of the instrument.  But I can move it to just those notes instead of the whole instrument.

Ah cool, I think I saw something about that releases feature. Will try it out once we think we're ready to go "prime-time" with what we have so far.

Yes, on pianos from either E6 or F6 (rarely sometimes up to G6) up there are no dampers and the notes sustain forever. Try it on a real one, this isn't a joke.

As pointed out, it's actually even used in many compositions intentionally.

Regarding the soprano recorder, I think putting them on the notes is the best method, but I can also edit the samples and try to remove the squeak without removing the chiff. I will probably redo the recorder samples at some point anyway, but these ones are already good enough that I think they do the job just fine.
