Maybe it is useful to add the oom scripts and files to the package
http://www.openoctave.org/downloads/ooscripts

In the om2 git repo you'll see a folder called 'oomfiles', these scripts 
convert *.rgd (rosegarden instrument files, generated by the scripts, 
see weblink above) to *.idf files (Muse2 instrument files).
