Thanks for the info. I agree, I don't feel it would be worth it either.
Now I'm just trying to tie up the loose ends of what I've done already.
If someone else does want to tackle it, I have to amend something I just
said. My code should be able to cope (that's hope talking) if two things
are done:
* make MidiDevice::isPercussionNumber smarter
* kick auto instruments off every channel whose meaning changed (Have
AllocateChannels emit sigVacateChannel). They'll find new homes.
