@Paul I think this sonatina.midnam file is ready to be added to the 
midnam files in Ardour 3. All though it might be good if people test it.
https://github.com/johnsen/Sonatina-symphonic-orchestra-MIDNAM/blob/master/sonatina.midnam

Afaik, what needs to be edited is the lscp file. It should work now, but 
users might want to have 4 different channels for the 1st-violin instead 
of one, to match 4 1st-violin players in an orchestra etc. I think it's 
up to the community to make this template better.
See also the README
https://github.com/johnsen/Sonatina-symphonic-orchestra-MIDNAM/blob/master/README.md

People who want to use the midnam file for sonatina likely also needs 
the lscp file for LinuxSampler. It's up to the Ardour devs how they want 
to serve the Ardour users here.

At the end it might be nice to have an 
Ardour-sonatina-orchestral-template with busses for convolution reverb etc.
At this point I've no interest to do that work. The files in the git 
repo serve as example and sharing of knowledge.
