+================================================
+    MusE loadable Midi Instrument Definitions
+    (as of 10.09.2003) MusE 0.7.0
+================================================
+
+  - File Extension  ".idf"
+  - searched in Subdirectory  "instruments"
+    (/usr/share/muse/instruments on my system)
+
+  All found instrument definitions are presented by MusE
+  in Config->MidiPorts in Pulldown in column "Instrument".
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+   Example of Instrument Definition File:
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+<?xml version="1.0"?>
+<muse version="1.0">
+  <MidiInstrument name="GM">
+    <Init>
+      ...MusE event list which initializes instrument
+      </Init>
+    <PatchGroup name="Piano">
+       <Patch name="Grand Piano" prog="0"/>
+       <Patch name="Bright Piano" prog="1"/>
+       ...
+      </PatchGroup>
+    <PatchGroup name="Bass">
+      <Patch name="Acoustic Bass" prog="32"/>
+      <Patch name="Fingered Bass" prog="33"/>
+      </PatchGroup>
+    ...
+    <Controller name="Brightness">
+      <n>0x4a</n>
+      <min>0</min>
+      <max>127</max>
+      <init>0</init>
+      </Controller>
+    ...
+    </MidiInstrument>
+  </muse>
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+      Notes
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+ (1)  PatchGroups are not mandatory; its valid to write:
+
+      <MidiInstrument name="GM">
+        <Patch name="Grand Piano" prog="0"/>
+        <Patch name="Bright Piano" prog="1"/>
+        <Patch name="Acoustic Bass" prog="32"/>
+        <Patch name="Fingered Bass" prog="33"/>
+        ...
+        </MidiInstrument>
+
+ (2)  An "Instrument Definition File" can define more than on
+      Instrument, but it is recommended to use one file for
+      one instrument
+
+ (3)  the "prog" parameter in a "Patch" is mandatory. Missing
+      "hbank" or "lbank" are treated as "don't care".
+      Missing "drum" is treated as drum="0".
+
+      A XG-Patch looks like:
+      <Patch name="Electro" drum="1" hbank="127" lbank="0" prog="24"/>
+
+ (5)  A patch can be associated with a "mode" with one of
+
+            1  - GM
+            2  - GS
+            4  - XG
+
+      Example:
+      <Patch name="Electro" mode="4" drum="1" hbank="127" lbank="0" prog="24"/>
+
+      Mode id's can be ore'd together for patches which are valid
+      for more than one mode:
+
+      <Patch name="Grand Piano" mode=7" hbank="0" lbank="0" prog="0"/>
+
+ (4)  example for MusE event (Sysex "XG-On"):
+
+      <event tick="0" type="5" datalen="7">
+        43 10 4c 00 00 7e 00
+        </event>
+
+ (5)  <Init> ... </Init> part can be omitted
+
+
+ (6)  Controller have the following porperties:
+
+      name: arbitrary unique (short) string describing the controller
+      n:    controller number, defines also the controller type:
+            values from 0x0 - 0x7f are 7Bit controller
+            values from 0x1000 - 0x1ffff are 14 bit controller with
+               MSB/LSB value pairs
+            values from 0x20000 - 0x2ffff are RPN's
+            values from 0x30000 - 0x3ffff are NRPN's
+
+      min:  minimum value for controller
+      max:  maximum value for controller
+      init: reset value for controller; when controller value is
+            undefined after instrument reset, use the ''undefined''
+            value 0x10000
+
+      the min/max/init values can be ommited
