When I start Hexter for example on the normal way (not as plugin) I see 
what instrument belongs to what program no. . That's also the case in 
Rosegarden. I doesn't see that as I open it in qtractor...
Maybe that's my point and maybe giving the program no names will improve 
things..(?)

BTW. are you planning to support LASH with your great apps?
