That suggestion makes no sense at all. QSynth doesn't start the fluidsynth 
commandline executable in any way. It is a standalone GUI program using 
libfluidsynth, in a similar way that fluidsynth is a CLI program using the 
same library for the same purposes. 

There are no shortcuts, except understanding the involved concepts. You may 
ask here, in this mailing list, to the people that is delivering these 
programs to you if you have any doubts or need clarifications.
