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.
