Some time ago I updated the hooks into Fluidsynth for the ChucK music
programming language to support the tuning API. I wrote a sample program
which used the
FluidR3_GM.sf2 soundfont. In my test, I mapped notes to MIDI note numbers
that were not close to the frequency they represent in the standard

It would be nice indeed.

I used the sf2convert tool and converted the SF2 soundfont to SF3 and SF4
and compared the file

My 2 cents to SF3 vs. SF4
