I recently double checked, and you're right. Yoshimi doesn't show
un-numbered
instruments. I don't know when or why that happened, but these days neither

once off situation and probably not worth doing much about it.

Nope. I was wrong.

They both save un-numbered voices if you directly save an individual
instrument,
rather than saving it to a bank. So presumably people have been manually
building up banks. Very naughty :)

So... what to do?

I don't recall Cal saying he was dropping support for this, but I'll have a
look through the code and see what the implications are and what would happen
if
it was re-instated. I suspect it could possibly make instrument/bank loading
slower.


OK, I've had time to look at this. First, is anyone actually concerned about it?

It is easy to apply a fix that allows un-numbered instruments in a bank
provided there is no hyphen '-' at the forth character, with no significant
performance change. Is that good enough?

If not, I can fully re-instate these instruments, but the testing becomes less
elegant.

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