Hi Drew, glad to hear we were on target with the song, and that Ron augments the tunes with his own embellishments. That is what trad music has grown up around, I'd say, especially in the fully aural and oral traditions.
Re synthesisers, the main one I use is Key Rig, which I got as part of a midi keyboard package from M-Audio some time back. I also like a free VST effect called Cellofan which gives a reasonable cello sound. Other than those, I record my instruments live through microphones when I am committing to a recording. I very rarely use synth sounds.
With Musescore I just use whatever the General Midi sound is of the instrument I have put on the score.
John
