In the track playback parameters change the device from 'General MIDI device'

I actually have entries in 'Manage MIDI Devices' called, 'Yoshimi',

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Just seen this and thought it might be of
interest.
The Rosegarden team is pleased to announce the release of version 15.10
of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor
for Linux. One tester comments, "You'll be pleased to know that this
puts Rosegarden ahead of all the other sequencers I've tried for all CCs
including bank changes, program changes and NRPNs."

With this major bugfix release, Ted Felix untangled a very old problem
with instrument parameters that stumped quite a few developers over the
years. Tito Latini joined the project briefly, and went on a bit of a
rampage, fixing bug after bug. Yves got in on the effort, and
contributed several important fixes. Even Michael wrote a little code
here and there.
This is one of the best releases we've turned out in years, and we
strongly encourage everyone to upgrade immediately!

The reason I've never been a Rosegarden user is because I've never found
anywhere in the program where you can do generic (non-GM) Midi. I do
mostly very electronic stuff where the idea of banks and presets that
have to be assigned to a particular instrument sound with a well known
instrument name isn't very useful to the kinds of patches and samples
I'd use. But there doesn't seem to be anywhere in Rosegarden where you
can just do regular ad hoc this-bank/program-is-whatever-I-say-it-is
style Midi.
