Not really important , just a 'cosmetic' mismatch with the sound nr you sel=
ect , and the sound nr shown on the midi-device.

   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.

Ted.
