Re: changing the default midi instrument "permanently"

Before you (or anyone else) starts an investigation into this, let me (or someone else) double-check to be sure. I'm currently using Elysium (and Eclipse) to write LilyPond scores, and I did notice that there seems to exist something like a midi-instrument memory. Meaning that changing the midi ins
