Change "SoundFonts" to "SoundFonts and SFZ files"?
Could we expand the name of the SoundFonts page so that it includes SFZ files?

Your view is supported by the Polyphone website. But all other Internet sources (including the SFZ specification ) imply that "soundfont" only refers to the SF2/3 format.

"SoundFont" (note capitalization) is the name specifically for the SF2 format. The more generic term "soundfont" is sometimes used to apply to all similar formats, including SFZ. Kind of an unfortunate situation. I'd prefer if there were a more widely accepted generic term. Maybe "sound font" would do? I'd prefer a single generic term over listing the two specific formats, at least for a title. Obviously the body of the article should discuss the two specific formats individually.
"Sounds" :-)
Also, it would be smart to similarly rename the ~/Documents/MuseScore2/Soundfonts directory (for MuseScore 3).

Ah, I figured out where I got this idea from: the directory where FluidR3Mono is installed is called "sound."
"sound sample files" or "instrument sample files" (or file formats for...)?
note: or "libraries for sound-/instrument sample files" (just brainstorming;)
"Virtual instruments". This covers all formats including SF2/3 and SFZ. See schristiancollins.com .
