If this is not safe, I'd be happy to protect them with a comment-character, though I didn't see comments documented... Using fluidsynth.lua, an app would typically read the file with: soundfonts = FS.read_config_file(filename) then start the synth (which inherits the custom settings), then invoke FS.sf_load(synth, soundfonts) which loads MyGM.sf2 and ReallyGoodPiano.sf2 I think most sensible apps would offer a -f option; my testbed is http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/fluadity.html fluidsynth.lua is still early in its lifecycle and I can change things without worrying much about backward-compatibility, but I would like to suggest ~/.config/fluidsynth and its extended-fluidsynth-shell format ...
