Soundfont Not Playing
I downloaded the handbells soundfont from the Handbook page and followed the instructions to load it into the synthesizer, but there is no audio playback when I press "play". Using version 1.3 on Windows 8.1, .mscz file is attached.

The handbell soundfont is not a GM soundfont, consequently the standard GM sound MuseScore has mapped to the handbells instrument is mapped to a non existent preset.
Consequently you are getting silence.
Open the mixer window and reassign the sound.

Alright that worked. But then I decided I didn't like the sound as much as the original, so I switched the soundfont back. Then it automatically reassigned it to piano! What is the handbell source sound for the default soundfont?

Tinker Bell - but it is pretty grotty :(
I would try one of the mallet percussion sounds.

Agreed on that one. I'll play around with it and see if I can find one that sounds good. Thanks!
