having played around for a while with rg and a downloaded a yoshimi.rgd

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.
I think that bank was indeed made around 6 years ago via this script [1]
I had made, but then Yoshimi default banks changed quite a bit and I'm
not even sure if that script still works :-)
see this post for the script:
https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24573&start=15
it's working nicely on my system.
Personally, I must admit that I hardly ever use that file. I prefer to
change instruments etc. in Yoshimi and have nothing set-up in that
regards in Rosegarden. That is because 95% of times I will be tweaking
even the default instruments, in terms of parameters effects etc. and I
*don't* want Rosegarden to inadvertently 'restore' the defalut.
But I understand if Rosegarden is providing a Yoshimi bank file it
should probably be up to date :-)
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).
Have you made sure Yoshimi is actually set-up to react to Bank and
Program Changes? There i a configuration setting for this [2]
