No, Tom simply said that in version 1.x, the MIDI messages coming from
a MIDI file cannot be filtered by the router. But this lack of
functionality has been recently added in git repo master.
So, to fix your initial issue (using your first attemp which is the
only one correct), there are 2 solutions:
1) if you want your MIDI file messages filtered by the router (using
the router rules given by Tom), you need to use version 2.0 (master).
(clone or tar from git, than build (cmake,make,..)).
2) if you want to stay with version 1.x, you need to edit your MIDI
file and remove all the prog,bank change MIDI messages incompatible
with your select command parameters (chan, prog, bank).
Hope you will choose (1).
Thank you for the information.
So I chose (1) :-) But I was very lazy, and ignored the instructions on
https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/blob/master/README-OSX, mostly
because I don't want to install another package manager (fink), in case
it messes up the one I already use (macports). So I built fluidsynth
(without checking the dependencies - very lazy!). please let me know if
this is a likely cause of the problems I describe below.
$ git clone g...@github.com:FluidSynth/fluidsynth.git
$ cd fluidsynth/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build/
$ cmake ..

Can I now run fluidsynth2 direct from the command line using
`src/fluidsynth` - will it pick up the correct libraries/Frameworks?
If the answer is NO: can you tell me what I need to do to install in my
home directory? - I don't want to risk overwriting stuff in system
directories.
If the answer is YES - (and only if the answer is YES!) - then read on,
and I'll attempt to describe how this is not (quite) working for me....
Running `src/fluidsynth' seems to work for fast-rendering directly to a
WAV file, but not for playing the audio directly (I get pages of Jack
errors). Do I need to sort these errors out before proceeding, or should
it be OK, to continue to use it only for fast-rendering?
I prepared the fluidsynth config file according to Tom M.'s instructions
(I hope):

Rendering audio to file '../../Test.wav'..
However, when listening back to the audio, I'm not getting Cello (from
sfont 2) on channel 4/5 or Finger bass (from sfont 1) on channel 6/7.
What I'm getting sounds like 'Yamaha C5 Grand' on every channel.
Of course, the above output from `channels -verbose` is generated
/before/ my midi file is loaded.
I can't find detailed documentation in order to understand what these
router commands are doing - perhaps Tom M. was giving an illustration,
rather than a complete solution?
All the best, Matt.
All the best.

If you need it now, you'll have to check out the source code from
our git repo and build fluidsynth from source.
