[JW Lua] FCInstrumentDef feature request

[Jari Williamsson]

Charles,

I added that method now for the next beta, but that might not be the 
string you're looking for. I did a quick test, and that resulted in 
device name strings ("SmartMusic SoftSynth 1") instead of a useful 
instrument name.

I haven't yet researched the reason why this happens, or what this 
string should actually represent. I'll write it down and ask MakeMusic 
about it.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
