Comment (by mojca):
I attached my proposal for packaging what's in Debian (some files may be
omitted from installation of course, but I felt it would be right to give
some credit to Debian for making all the support files).
Quick observations:
* GS `fluidr3_gs.cfg` doesn't even provide support for accordion
* GM `fluidr3_gm.cfg` is sometimes better and with more "natural" sound
for accordion, but it sounds terrible when playing quickly and the balance
between the high pitches for melody and the basses is not even bearable to
listen to; so apparently I'll have to stick with FreePats.
* `cfg` files use a mixture of LF & CRLF (may we depend on dos2unix for
installation dependency?)
I noticed that Debian probably puts the files to `etc/timidity`. I'm not
sure what's better, but when I think about it, `etc` does make sense.
> Have you checked if there's an actual difference? I have assumed that
the Debian package maintainers would have picked that up (5 years is long,
even for Debian).
I have no clue how to inspect sound fonts. And anyway there is no GM and
the licence is different and ...
