Suggestions for Small Quality of Life Improvements in the Synthesizer
1) In a score, I sometimes might have multiple soundfonts that contain >30 instrument samples each. As such, when I access the mixer to assign instrument samples to instruments, I have to scroll through a huge dropdown list that extends across my entire screen, and scrolling all the way from the top to find something I need is not fun, especially for my eyes. Or, I might want to switch between and compare the sounds of two different soundfonts' instrument samples (eg. switching from Musescore_General's flute sound to GeneralUserGS's flute sound to compare them) and it can be annoying scrolling all over the place - this issue is further compounded by the fact that it is not clearly indicated which items in the huge list belong to which soundfont (although recently, instrument samples from different soundfonts with the same names are marked with numbers, making things slightly better).
So, is it possible to add a search bar that opens with the dropdown list that that can narrow down the list, or maybe have the list items shaded differently depending on which soundfont they come from (eg. all the instrument samples in Musescore_General have a white background colour in the dropdown list in the mixer, all the instrument samples in the next soundfont have a light grey colour, the next samples have white, the next has light grey, etc.)? Or, maybe make the dropdown list slightly fatter and in another column, aligned to the right side of each list item is their associated soundfont, or maybe have a divider between list items which belong to different soundfonts?.
2) In the synthesizer (fluid+zerberus tab), there are three buttons, which can move a soundfont up or down (if there is a list of synthesizers), as well as one that can move a soundfont to the top of the list. Could you also make a button to send the soundfont to the bottom?
3) In the synthesizer (fluid+zerberus tab), regarding the delete button, if an instrument in the score is currently using an instrument sample belonging to the soundfont about to be deleted, is it possible to first create a popup or tab that says something like "The soundfont you are about to delete, _____, is currently in use by the following instrument(s) in your score: ____, ___, _____. Are you sure you want to continue with this action?"
4) Is it possible to add a feature to give a nickname to a soundfont? For example, if I wanted to nickname a soundfont based on the instrument samples I use from it in a certain score, this would be very helpful. Maybe the same soundfont could have different nicknames with different scores.
