I tested in liquidsfz and sfizz, no sound. Some unsupported opcodes, and most likely need some specific cc-values to produce sound. Sure it would be possible to modify those sfz so that they work.

My remaining problem now is that some pages of the Sforzando GUI are not rendered correctly.

The GUI pages are defined by xml-files.

I have it working in sfizz, It wasn't the quickest loading thing though. There isn't the GUI of sforzando but you can change the sound of the key by pressing notes in at the lower end (and sometimes the higher as well) to make the notes mute, sustain, slide etc. These modifiers are marked in red on the keyboard in the plugin.

Great! So it can be used inside LMMS. I wonder how that's done - is the Sforzando VST opened in Carla Rack or in VeSTige?

Strange! To activate the GUI of a sfz you have to try opening the general xml-file of the GUI and then click on this button:

Well its possible he is on Windows. I hope that's not the answer though, because then I can't use it either.

Sometimes I wish LMMS was still Linux only, how much time would this safe the devs...

LMMS 1.3 is already out for windows. :(

Oh no! That would be bad news indeed.

Good news!

Put Metal-GTX in Sforzando,
put Sforzando in VeSTige,
use VeSTige in the LMMS AppImage,
run LMMS AppImage under Linux with Wine.

I did the test, and it works. :-)

But how good it works remains to be seen as I haven't tested al the diverse MIDI commands involved in the relevant articulations.

Although, I do not know what OS he is on, he did reply to my question about what vst he used.

It's GTX and another one.

Metal-GTX is not a VST plugin but a kind of soundfont by the sfz-format. It needs to run in a sfz-host such as Sforzando.

Here somebody is describing the same GUI issue with Sforzando that I also have: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=247859

However I have Linux Mint...
