Set a default instrument to select when NBS is opened

[CreeperPookie]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've noticed that when NBS is opened, the selected instrument is always set to harp by default. However, this does make a lot of sense (harp is the default Minecraft note block instrument, and does sound very similar to a piano), there have been many times I wished it started on another kind, especially if I want to play along or record note timings for a song.

Describe the enhancement you'd like
One thing that could be done is to add a settings entry for a default instrument (perhaps a dropdown-like menu, similarly for the theme or max frame rate setting) and set the current instrument to that when NBS is opened; a default custom instrument would be very nice, though I realize that would not be easy since custom instruments are only loaded after opening a specific song that requires it.

Additional context
One effect this would have would be effectively setting the default instrument for a MIDI keyboard without entering the MIDI settings. Although I know you can override the MIDI instrument on a per-keyboard basis, it isn't saved and is reset upon reopening NBS. One thing I have run into regarding this is trying to play notes during a song with the keyboard or a MIDI device, especially in player mode; for a lot of the songs I've made and/or listened to, Harp is way too soft to hear, especially in the lower octaves. Changing to Pling helps a lot with this, though if I'm listening to something in player mode (especially to see how a song looks in drop mode), this just isn't possible and it becomes a lot trickier to hear the notes I play.

If I understand correctly, you'd like a dropdown to pick the instrument that's selected by default when you open NBS?
While I see how that would be useful in your case, it's a great deal of maintenance burden to add to the app for something that would only save a single click :)

Perhaps that would be a more useful addition? The biggest challenge with it is identifying which instrument is which over different sessions (the order they're plugged in could change). I suppose it would be possible to use its display name as an identifier.

maybe add this in a drop down menu when right clicking instrument icons

well the dropdown specifically was just an example, but it's only way I can think to acomplish right know lol

honestly the MIDI keyboard would just be a side effect of setting a default instrument, since its default option is use selected instrument; very useful for sure, though setting the selected editor instrument also can accomplish this (though I realize why some people might not want to have their piano always default to their selected editor instrument!)

yeah that's a fair point, though I think storing by display name is the only real possibility (apparently MIDI devices they don't even have a real unique ID at all)
Even if you tried using querying every possible attribute of the MIDI device and using that as an identity, I imagine it would leave a lot of scenarios where two MIDI devices are indistinguishable from each other (especially if the user has two of the same model of MIDI device)
