"largely": what type of quantifier it is

I've seen "large"\ "largely" in many questions. I wanna know to what extent it suggests about the scope of the sentence: some, most, or something else.

A good example is the conclusion in PT65-S4-Q12---"So jazz consists largely of voicelike horns and hornlike voices."

I deeply appreciate your help and time for my question.

Thank you,
Leon

    Hey bud,

    On PT65-S4-Q12, largely means "most."

    I think it depends on the context. On that question, it means most; however, if I say that the group is large, we don't know how large...

    Good luck
