script to produce yoshimi.rgd and how to change banks

having played around for a while with rg and a downloaded a yoshimi.rgd
from
https://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/rosegarden/data/library/yoshimi.rgd?format=raw

i found that it doesn't match the yoshimi banks and instrument setup i'm
getting from yoshimi now on archlinux.

so i made a little script that will create a yoshimi.rgd from
/usr/share/yoshimi/banks.

see this post for the script:
https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24573&start=15

it's working nicely on my system.

what i don't understand though is why neither this yoshimi.rgd nor the other
one, let's me change banks within rg.

from the instrument parameters, i can change instruments within a
bank, but the bank has to be set in a running yoshimi. i can't change
bank from instrument parameters (even though it looks like i've changed
it).
