I recommended the freepats-20060219, but in the timidity package I
included a smaller set of patches in the interests of keeping down the size.

In fact, the ones I use ARE the freepats patches, although I have found a
better and larger patch for BANJO, which I have added to my own collection.

Yes, although you may find it safer to comment out the patch that is being
replaced, and add a new line for the new patch - just in case it turns out to
have some unexpected (and unwanted) audible foibles. It happens sometimes.
