Good, yes alas.

That would be nice and I'm sure that it can be simplified
quite a bit.

The thing is, we won't know until some time after 2.14 if the current
default (voice<->track, instrument<->channel) works well for everyone. 

The old 'staff default is fairly ok for listening, but messes up the
voices.  That's bad for anyone wanting to do some postprocesing with it.

The new 'voice flavour seems to be unfit for listening purposes, but
is by far the most convenient option for postprocessing.

Do you thing anything should go in the NEWS file?

Jan.
