you are overestimating my knowledge.  What i was trying to ask is

	 How do i "change program for track 1?"

(and save that permanently)

I looked through RG menus and found the options to set the tempo, to set the time sig., the clef, and, i think every thing else - EXCEPT the timbre change ("change program" =? "assign instrument" ?)

How do i assign the change of instrument with Rosegarden?

thanks
