Perhaps txt2rgd.py can be altered to automatically write an (initially 
empty) text node near the top of the XML file that will eventually 
become the .rgd voice map. For example, an XML element like:

<information>
Information or instructions appears here...
</information>

The creator of the .rgd file could then edit the ungzipped XML file 
and place some explanatory text or instructions within that node.

Then when a user clicks the "Import..." button in the Manage MIDI 
Devices window of rosegarden4 and imports a file, perhaps rosegarden 
can be programmed to display a window with the contents of the XML 
text node (IF the node is not empty), and a button to dismiss the 
window and proceed to the import dialog?

Best wishes,
