Moreover, I presume that a MIDI file can't use more than 16 instruments.
ex- and imported your 24instruments.rg as midi (came well to that idea) and it showed off at least with 24 tracks. But can be that this limitation is existing, so it is impossible.

Screen is continuously changing when playing and the vu-meters are hidden during the rests. The time they are hidden/visible is certainly system dependant, so I'm not surprised we don't see exactly the same thing.

I can hear the 44 contrabass.
Maybe it's related to the sound font Timidity uses which may depend on the distro.
You may give a try to FluidSynth which usually makes a better sound than Timidity:
- Download some GM sound font (http://www.ntonyx.com/soft/32MbGMStereo.sf2
is a good one).
- Start FluidSynth in place of Timidity:
fluidsynth -sij /somewhere/32MbGMStereo.sf2 &
- In RG studio, connect the MIDI device to the fluidsynth port

The bug probably was in the tools used to create the 117-1.mid file.
It's certainly not so common, here are three other MIDI fifth symphony versions with the right instruments:
http://www.kunstderfuge.com/beethoven/variae.htm
BTW there is something which looks like a RG bug here:
- Start a new RG session
- Import a MIDI file with various GM instruments
- Play it on some GM synth
==> all the tracks are sounding like piano (i.e. program #1)
There is a workaround to hear the correct instruments: save the composition in a RG file then reload it.
I'll write a ticket about it.

I started writing this stuff following Ted's remark that MIDI only supports 16 channels. I was a bit too quick as I only noticed later that the instruments were not so many.
RG compositions needing more then 16 programs probably are scarce.
Moreover, I presume that a MIDI file can't use more than 16 instruments.

That's an old topic:
https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/mailman/rosegarden-user/thread/45feaa13.5020...@riquer.eu.org/
There is a page about it in the wiki:
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/dev:ramblings_about_scripting
I'm afraid RG has even fewer developpers it had when this thread was written and none of them has a lot of time.

I sent the example as is to show what the MIDI Device Manager and the Program and Bank Manager are like.
I presume to give a step by step description of how to set them up is not really needed.
