Fluidsynth doesn't work as a player on latest MacOS #26

Hi!

Just wanted to say that installing the latest fluid synth from homebrew and using that as a player in lilypond-suite doesn't work currently.

I had to specify timidity as the midi_synth to make the functionality work (and also install timidity of course)

              midi_synth = "timidity",

Hi,

Sorry for that !

I think another line is missing in the wiki : In Arch the default soundfont must be specified in /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg

soundfont /usr/share/soundfonts/FluidR3_GM.sf2

However I don't know how it works on MacOS...
