I realized that such a full orchestra setup could be made automatically
using the createDAW script.
https://github.com/johnsen/lscp2midnam/blob/master/createDAWStudio.sh
https://github.com/johnsen/lscp2midnam/blob/master/README_scripts

I've added an example for the violas

https://github.com/johnsen/Sonatina-symphonic-orchestra-MIDNAM/blob/master/README.md

All should be there to make your own desired orchestral lscp file. If
you make a full orchestral template, it would be nice if you could share
it. If you've questions about how this works, don't hesitate (after you
did some reading and experimenting yourself first...) to contact me. I
don't guarantee that I'll be subscribed to this list, so include my
personal email address too.
