 I'm testing SFZ files in sfizz loaded as an LV2 or VST3 plugin in
 Carla 
 running as a stand-alone plugin host.

 I get *occasional* crashes when editing loaded SFZ files, but they're
 not very frequent.

 I'm running Manjaro, so the Carla and sfizz versions I'm running are 
 possibly more up-to-date than on Ubuntu Studio. In fact, for sfizz I 
 usually use the AUR sfizz-git package, so I'm running a version
 compiled 
 from a recent git repo commit. 
Thanks for that suggestion.  I confess that I didn't even know that
Carla could be run stand-alone.

I tried this, but unfortunately I still get a crash every time I edit
the sfz file.  I might perhaps try installing the latest git version of
sfizz.

But in the mean time, I find that the simplest solution is to call my
file something like filenameA.sfz, then after making an edit I save it
as filenameB.sfz, after another edit filenameA.sfz. and so on.  I
simply have to load the latest version as a new file in the sfizz
plugin, and by alternating the 2 filenames I avoid the crashes.
