Hi, This is mostly meant for Davide who is a maintainer for Frescobaldi[-devel], but I wanted to raise the topic on this mailing list.
Today I noticed this: > port notes frescobaldi-devel frescobaldi-devel has the following notes: You may want to install FluidSynth and obtain a SoundFont in order to have audio output from Frescobaldi's MIDI output. You will need to select FluidSynth's MIDI input port in Frescobaldi's MIDI settings (in Preferences) while FluidSynth is running. I recently added a new port freepats that contains a sound font. Maybe there are more usable sound fonts around. I just picked the first one (also used by HomeBrew) to get TiMidity++ (software synthesizer for MIDI files) working. I wasn't even aware that we had a port for sound synthesis in MP already (I probably even checked the FluidSynth's website, but I couldn't just keep adding a zillion new ports without even knowing what each individual one does and forgot to check whether it was already there). I would be nice to do some cross-check to make sure that we distribute perhaps a small number of universally usable sound fonts and to make sure that different software packages are able to use them. What I did with freepats and TiMidity++ is more like the quickest hack that allowed me to play MIDI files with that particular program.
