Sorry. I don't recognise this scenario.

I turn on the 'big switch' and computer, auxiliaries and amp power up in
sequence.
For a new composition I click on my yoshimi icon followed by the rosegarden one.
I select an instrument for yoshimi and play a few times then hit record on
rosegarden.
Switch both to track 2 and repeat. Repeat for 'n'.
Save both the yoshimi parameter set and the rosegarden file.

To work on an existing track I simply click on the yoshimi and rosegarden files
to pull up the programs with the files loaded and ready to go.

How is that taxing? Actually this *very* little routine is exactly right to
get me in the 'zone'.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
