What happens if there isn't a template that exactly matches? You just load any old thing and then change it? > As far as templates vs. some dialog, I can't quite think how a dialog > could pre-select all of this stuff without winding up being a mini > parameters/canvas view with some widgets missing. The usual thing (which I think both Finale and Sibelius do) is to have two selection lists -- a dialog that looks a bit like KDE applications' Edit Toolbars dialog, or suchlike. The available instruments are listed in the left, and the selected ones are listed in the right. Select some, click Go, you're done. It's pretty simple.
