   Rosegarden does not offer such a feature, and I can see that this 
ends up being confusing.  The convention in MIDI is that Program Change 
#1 (to the user) is actually Program Change #0 to the hardware.

   If the program number is really important, include it in the name. 
It will look odd, but at least it will clear up the confusion.
