Description

### Enhancement Summary

To test how a MIDI sounds with different soundfonts, it would be nice if we could quickly change the default soundfont instead of changing each track's soundfont separately or needing to reopen LMMS after changing the default soundfont from the settings.

### Implementation Details / Mockup

To test how a MIDI sounds with different soundfonts, it would be nice if we could quickly change the default soundfont instead of changing each track's soundfont separately or needing to reopen LMMS after changing the default soundfont from the settings.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the default soundfont setting and the per-track soundfont handling in LMMS, then trace how settings changes reach active tracks. Done means users can change the default soundfont and hear the new choice without changing each track or reopening LMMS.
