Just an idea, I wonder if it would be possible to add the soundfont used to compile the score

There can be more than one soundfont. The soundfont names are stored in the file if the user pressed Save to Score in the Synthesizer. And you can find out which soundfonts are used, if you press Load from Score (and you have the soundfonts installed...)

What's happen when we don't have installed the specific soundfont file in the machine where we play the piece?

Wouldn't it be possible to "include" the soundfont file(s) used into the piece? (I know the fact that the result file would be huge, in comparison with the standard type).

It might be possible to extract the instruments used by the score from the soundfont and include only those.
Another would be to just store the name(s) of the soundfont(s) and ask for them on load of score if they are not available.

I like the idea of storing just the particular sound within the file, though I believe it is not practial in the long term:

Some high quality sounds are huge, eg. multisampled pianos with hundreds of megabytes or even way over one gigabyte.
It would imply huge redundacy because often used high quality sounds would be stored in multiple score files, bloating used disk space and also memory consumption on opening some of those files in multiple tabs simultaneously.

My idea, as so often expressed hurt, was to have only the name of the soundfonts used. Incidentally as the platform (OS) that is already present, and I can see, though I use a different one on my pc. But thank you to all for your comments.
