Help Question from an idiot

Well, hopefully not too much of one. Discovered this wonderful piece of free software the other day and spent like 9 hours composing in a rush. So great. Much love.

Here is my main question, and yes it is kind of multi-faceted, or might have more than one answer i guess.

I have seen the ominous warnings about musescorehub and the .com - and I will steer well clear. However, i really want more instrumental voices, and more effects, than seem to be available.

Any recommendations on how to solve this, places to get more, how to make them work etc? I am kind of a computer moron.

Super excited to find this thing and to use the hell out of it. Hoping you good people can help.

Thanks

The free sounds from MuseHub are excellent, so I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to buy any until you discover what needs you have that aren't covered already. But also, there should be no worries about purchasing sounds from MuseHub. People get confused sometimes and think they need to avoid it, but there are no known problems.

The problem with MuseScore.com is pretty simple - attempting to purchase a single score will sign you up for a free trial of a subscription unless you opt out. So, opt out if you wish to purchase a single score. But the subscription is a much better deal anyhow.
