I have learned that by and large, “Music” programs are for streaming, not live music.

Actually, Music programs were indeed created for listening to music through speakers, or over ear headphones. Streaming music, is mostly ok using the general program since the mics aren’t used, so no outside ambient sounds, or other acoustic phenomena will interfere.
The big problem is musicians have much much more defined needs based on their instument, so the mfg music program needs to be fine tuned, or a custom program should be created.

Several users on this forum have created programs for their acoustic, and electric guitars as well.
Just use the search tool at the top right for programming music info in addition to the helpful links @tenkan provided.

EDIT @rasmus_braun can you create a pinned post for the links @tenkan provided?
You’d make @jeffrey and many others very happy!

Thanks for your input! I would add that for me, a recent Oticon HA firmware update has taught me that I will never again create a live music program by modifying the “MyMusic” setting that Oticon uses (or any manufacturer’s music program for that matter). The firmware update completely wiped all of the hard work I did with my audiologist and my instruments. Moving forward my live music setting(s) will be based on a custom program that won’t be subject to manufacturer interpretation of what a music program should be.
