Sure, indeed I have not. But I'm not sure right now it's worth the
effort of migrating the names and dependencies. If we suddenly get a
proliferation of soundfonts, then your suggestion is quite sensible. The
proliferation is not happening soon: musescore-soundfont-gm is going
away.

I suppose another name could be tim-soundfont-gm, but that's not what
people will search for (since here it's more widely known descriptively
as TimGM6mb).


Best,
