How to Actually Activate a Soundfont in Musescore 3.6?
I recently installed some soundfonts using the guide to help me, and I am not sure how to actually change the sounds of the instruments. Can somebody please tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Check the Synthesizer
There are several steps. Which step are you having trouble with.
1) Find a font. sf2 is easiest to work with.
2) Copy the font into the Soundfont folder.
3) Open the Fluid tab in the Synthesizer.
4) Select ADD in the lower right. LOAD you new font in the new window that opens.
5) Open your score and the mixer and assign sounds to each staff.
The manual explains it much better.
The problem is, if you load a lot of fonts than you will have a long list of sounds to wade through.
