Instrument Patch Search
Nothing is more enoying than to load in a large new score, and then having to go to the mixer and changing the patches for each instrument because I am using a non-vanilla soundfont. But what makes it worse is that there is no search feature, Imagine just clicking on patch, type "Basson" and all the other soundfonts are hidden so I can only see Basson-related soundfonts. Scrolling through the long list is a waste of time.
Please add this feature!!

oh wow ok.... So I guess there is a search...
I would still like to see a traditional search engine, one where the list gets reduced to the patches that have the title I searched because the strings have a ton of sub-patches.
But thanks for the help!!!
