Musescore having problems reading certain soundfonts.

Details:

Open musescore.

Play back continuously and irratically.

Open song.
Try again a few times
Bug happens.

Please fix!

Without wishing to sound too condescending, this is far more likely to be user error than a bug. Simple statistics, nothing personal.

What hardware? - CPU, RAM, sound-card etc.
What operating system?
What are your playback settings?
What version MuseScore
What soundfonts?
Is there a score you can attach to a post that shows that this error is reproducible?

This may be a bug in 4 and newer; I need to check myself. Most of my scores use personalized soundfonts, but I still primarily use 3.7 Evolution.
In 3.x however, you absolutely needed to open the synthesizer tab and make sure your soundfonts were loaded in the same order to work correctly. You could also save and load the soundfont set with each score.
Slower? Slightly, but it worked.
4 has no synthesizer page to open at all in the first place.
In fact, I don't believe they're using Fluid synth at all anymore.
