The Soundfont settings I saved to my musescore files are all gone.
I moved to a new computer and tried to load the soundfont settings from the score using the Synthesizer from "View." However, whenever I do that, it sets back to MuseScore's original soundfont and default Master Effects.
I've used the sf2 file the entire time, this can't be the problem, right?
I thought saving the soundfont and its settings to the score would permanently make that musescore file sound the way I intend it to be.
I now have to click "save to score" for all of my files even though they're supposed to be in the soundfont I used.
While this doesn't mean I have to modify all of my files, it frustrates me that this even happened in the first place.

I do know about that. My problem is, I want to recover the previous settings from the previous computer even though I'm using the same exact disc but as a secondary disk.

I found it and moved it over.
But now I have another problem. MuseScore couldn't detect my soundfont. It was able to just yesterday. Does that mean MuseScore won't accept sf2 files anymore?
This is the soundfont that I use : Nice-Keys-Ultimate-V2.3

Is it installed in the same place and it listed in synthesizer? In the same order?

Yes it is.
I tried reinstalling MuseScore, and it solved the issue. However, the soundfont became undetectable again after closing its 1st launch of the software.

Update!
I think I solved the issue by deleting the MuseScore.ini file from the Roaming folder on the primary disk.
I guess I should just stick to the default master effects settings from now on.
Is there a way to set the master effects precisely? As in, instead of sliding the adjustments, is there a way to enter numerals?
To be clear though, you don't save a soundfont in a score; you safe a reference to it. If you changed to a new computer, make sure that soundfont is copied/installed to it in the same position to make it work again.

No, the soundfont does work. It's just the custom master effects that are gone.
I completely forgot how I adjusted the master effects. I fear that it'll sound too different compare to my previous mp3 files.
