That's a good idea. That way, you would be able to just type
'fluidsynth<midifile>' to play a song.
Can I also recommend having a standard environment variable
SOUNDFONTPATH or similar which contains a colon-separated (semicolon
on Windows) list of paths to search for soundfonts. That would be
similar to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, Java's CLASSPATH or Python's PYTHONPATH
which I can set in my .bashrc file to customise where I keep my
SoundFonts. This would be searched in addition to (and in preference
to) the default path.
Which distros use /usr/share/soundfonts/ to store the soundfonts?
Debian (or at least Ubuntu, so I assume Debian) uses
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/.
/usr/share/soundfonts/ was just my personal preference. I don't mind
adhering to what Debian/Ubuntu currently does, although I vaguely recall
that Fedora might have had a different path.
But I'm not completely sure about the SOUNDFONTPATH thing - how would
that be used? Is that just to make people write foo.sf2 instead of
/usr/share/soundfonts/foo.sf2? It still wouldn't give FluidSynth itself
something to load as fallback.
