I think there should be a separate step in the setup wizard. I ought
to be able to setup a score for GPO and *assign* GPO instruments but
also choose not to *load* those instruments -- that is, to play
through Softsynth.

It depends how the *unload* is configured. If this is like HP, where
samples are loaded before playback and then unloaded immediately
after, then I don't think it's a good idea, because you'd have to
load all the instruments each time you press play. I like the idea of
not loading until the first playback, but then maybe they should stay
loaded until you switch docs or press some button to manually unload
them. Like maybe I'm working on a file, I want to listen to some of
it in GPO, and then I want to get rid of the samples and get some of
my RAM back while I continue working.
