Fluid-soundfont bug- not recognizing
Hey. I downloaded the fluid-soundfont from the musescore soundfonts page, tehn I downloaded zip7, unzipped it into the Musescore sound folder. Was successful as far as I can tell. I can see it when I open the file, but when I browse for it on the Musescore synthesizer it doesn't show up. I restarted the computer, too.

You can actually put it in any folder you want. It's possible your OS is not allowing you to add folder to the protected folder containing the MuseScore installation, so you might be better off putting it somewhere safer to write to.

Well, I put the guitar fonts in there & it worked, but I'll move ti & see what happens.
......Nope . Still doesn't see it.

You sure you have the right file after extracting / uncompressing? Should be called "FluidR3_GM.sf2". If it ends in anything but ".sf2", you're not done extracting / uncompressing, and MuseScore won't recognize it.
Also, what OS, what version of MuseScore?

Ja, I wasn't done uncompressing it. Never had to do it twice before! The guitars sound much better now. :)

Yup that's a quirk of a tar.gz archive.
Foxed me the first time I did it too :)
