Sorry, vague language. I mean program numbers > names of instruments
But it is solved now. When I have selected a dssi in the tab 'plugin'
and I go to the tab 'track', at that point only the program numbers are
displayed!!!
But when I mouse click on 'Hexter ...' below Midi/ instrument (on the
right of 'channel') I see the instrument names...
This is somewhat vague cause the name of Hexter seems already
selected... (it is strange for me that I have to mouse click it before I
see the instruments instead of just numbers)...

Would be great!
Another little gui thing I have with your latest version.
The names in the menu: file, Edit, Track, View etc. are not displayed
totally. I've Fil , Edi , Trac , Viev ,
The last letters of the names are displayed half...
