Oops - reset sound fonts/gain more control over sound fonts
I downloaded a couple of soundfonts, and installed them following instructions I found somewhere round here. I wanted to try these to see what happens.
Now all my scores - even the ones not requiring those soundfonts - are using those - which was not what I wanted.
So - how do I reset things to use the initial/basic soundfont?
And then, how can I control "add-in" soundfonts in future for specific pieces of music or specific staves in a work?

Make sure the MuseScore default soundfont is on top of the list in synthesizer and to set this as the default

Thanks - that's got my piano back!
Now, suppose I have a score with one stave which I wish to have with a different sound - from one of the other soundfonts. How do I do that?
Is there a manual section or a Youtube video which will show me? Can this even be done just for a few bars? Also, is the data then stored back in the score, so that if uploaded to Musescore.com it will play as it sounds locally?
Lots of questions here - sorry!

Use the mixer

OK - I'll need to figure that out. Does that still work with copies uploaded to Musescore.com?
I guess it must, as I've seen other people's scores with different soundfonts which play back that way in the web interface.

Have a quick look at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/soundfonts-and-sfz-files for how loading multiple soundfonts affects their order in the mixer.
If you are using non-default synthesizer settings (such as custom/additional soundfonts), then you will have the option to upload your local generated audio along with the score if you use
File → Save Onlinefrom within MuseScore directly.This is not possible when uploading your score via their web-interface.
