Are you sure this has to do with session support, that it is not 
 vst 'chunking' support?

We have dssi-vst chunking but user must specifically alter a 
 #define in the code and re-compile. 

Which I just thought: Robert would it be a good idea to make that 
 either a cmake or a runtime option?
(Maybe automatic but optional detection of chunk support by user's 
 dssi-vst version  ?)

Since MusE uses LASH, I use the gladish session control application.
Very nice. Very well done app and system.
(Adding basic support for LADISH would be easy, harder for full support.)

In practice though, there were some I think general SM headaches:

I used it to store a session of a MusE song and about six instances of...
 the amazing Guitarix application. (Rhythm, bass, lead etc)

But Guitarix seem(ed) not to know how to remember which instance
 of itself was tied to which original instance. So each time I would open
 the session the Guitarix instances were all mixed up.

I seemed to be able to tame it enough by using Guitarix presets but it 
 was cumbersome and changing/saving the presets was difficult in this 
 particular use case - any changes seemed to mess things up.

The other thing was LADISH stores a different MusE filename than the 
 one I open (add to a session). Or something like that, can't fully recall.
I end up with two different files, it was a bit tough to juggle if I wanted
 to open the file /without/ LADISH running. Something like that.

Again, could be general SM headaches not specific to LADISH.
