Is there a soundfont change that's being planned in musescore 3.0.0?
That was what I was wondering. I found some that might be good to replace Fluid.

No there is no plan to change the default soundfont for the moment. @churchorganist is still working on Fluid in order to improve it. @churchorganis, if you are reading this, could you create issues in the issue tracker so we know what is on your TODO list ?
Replacing Fluid is a hard work. I'm sure you can find other soundfonts that sound better for you but they need to sound better for others as well AND they need to be free, every single bit should be free. Feel free to open a post in the soundfont forum to list your candidates.
Note that they are already a couple of threads trying to do this.
Also, MuseScore 3 should have better SFZ support since @hpfmn will work on it this summer. See https://musescore.org/en/node/107761 My understanding is that SFZ is more powerful than SF2/SF3, so it might be worth investigating a move to a default SFZ?
Last point, for the moment, there is not really a plan for MuseScore 3 in many areas except the layout engine tackled by Werner, GSoC projects, a couple of contributors projects and some "infrastructure work".
In the end, (sorry to hijack your thread for this...) it's up to us as a community to figure out what we want MuseScore 3 to be. If users don't engage and try to sort it out themselves, there is no chance that a given feature will make it into MuseScore 3. I often read "I hope that MuseScore 3 will do this or that", I often refrain to answer systematically "Then do it. If you can't do it, then explain it again, make a developer warm for your idea. Do some effort. If the idea is valuable enough, it will find its developer. If not, no matter what you think, it was a bad idea..."

If we're hijacking (sorry Isaac), then I'd like to see automatic collision avoidance implemented for everything. The "proof of concept" is staves moving farther apart as needed; now, let's systematically tackle more problems, like #81121: Dynamics and Hairpins overlap, and then maybe text elements overlapping each other. I've been hesitant to start posting feature requests at this point while there's an enormous regression-fixing pressure.
The other thing is I'd really like to make some changes to the menus, as discussed a while back at https://musescore.org/en/node/75196. I think I can tackle this one myself by studying the current menu structures in the code.

Well, I was thinking I could study on creating my own soundfont, however I don't have the time to do it.

Sure, yes I'll do that.
SFZ is indeed more powerful than SF2, and has the advantage of not needing special software to customise it.
First thing though is to get the Zerberus SFZ player a bit more useable.
The other possibility would be to add VST support, so users could connect libraries such as Garritan Personal Orchestra without having to set up JACK and Carla first.

I found the SGM soundfont. I think it could be possible, then again, I'm not sure what the owner demands after download. It isn't posted on the site.
